There is a shortcut dash on the overview, so you can do things with one click. Even with GNOME 2, you had to search for the apps in the main menu. Your claim of taking longer doesn't quite ring true. If you have applications that you use frequently then put them on the dash, eg right click on an application and add it to the favorites. I admit there some kind of visual cue to show which apps in the dash are already running would be helpful. But really, it's not that much of a change in the workflow. Of course short cuts will be available as shell matures. Software development is not static, it continues to evolve just like it did in GNOME 2. It took GNOME 2 about a year or so to evolve into something that looked well put together and integrated. sri
