I think you've just highlighted the fact that the application menu doesn't behave like an ordinary menu. Specifically, it doesn't open sub-menus on hover. If it did, then opening an application would still only require two clicks: * activate the overview from the top left corner * click the "more applications" item (click one) * hover the category you need * click the application (click two) If you check the latest gnome-shell, you will notice that the categories and pages of the applications menu are now in a single scrollable list, although personally I think the menu and category based approach would have worked better if the sub-menus had opened on hover.
