...I really like how I hit the windows key and just type in the first few letters to the program I want and hit enter. So much faster then having to click through a list....
Do you remember every piece of software that is installed on your system, and how it is spelled? Did you memorize every utility that came with the system, or you later installed? Really?
If so, you are no power user - or even an average one. It is common to install lots of different tools/apps, if only just to try them out.
And what it is this bit about having to click through a list? Can't the UI developers offer both the text search box and a list? Why must it be only one or the other?
Unity on Ubuntu is much the same. I originally hated it, avoided using it (but found that no other UI option was stable and fully functional with the Ubuntu release), and then I discovered Classic Menu, which put the menu back. Now I have both the Unity UI (mostly ignored) and the classic menu, and every thing is fine.
Why the forced fake choices?
