I use Launchpad sometimes. It’s easier than opening the Finder and then Applications to find something. I also like looking at all the icons together. It’s also a reminder of different apps that I don’t use all the time. I especially like to use it with the ‘Other’ group which I think were called ‘Utilities’ before. I know the function I want, but don’t remember the name of the app.
By the way, I like the idea of the survey.
