What I want is for there to be only one "This is the place I go to
launch applications" directory (applications://). 

This is similar to mac finder in osx. There is one directory where all
apps (including the macs version of the control-center) is launched
from. I think having doubled functionality is confusing. I'm not the
only one either...

Note: I'm not inherintantly against a start-here: type directory. What
i'm against is ten different places to do the same thing. (ex. Launching
apps).

Imho a better start-here implementation would look something like:

start-here => applications directory launcher
           => file-system directory launcher
           => package management directory launcher (this would be cool)
           => favorites directory launcher (I have some cool thoughts
here) 

but this is getting very star-trek futurish.
