So in the mean time, we have to rely on guess made from packagers on
what would be the best application to use _if_ people did install more
applications and didn't remove the installed default one, nor
cleaned/move the entry ( because for some reason, it seems that no one
ever do it ).

But this is flawed logic, IF a user manually installs a new app that means
he is interested in using it, so it shouldn't be hidden away behind
"More". There is no guessing involved for apps that aren't installed by
default, those apps that a users needs to install manually should NEVER
disappear behind "More"!

Agree 100%

Well, personal experiences differ, we all know that. Although I can
understand the reasoning behind this last remark, I can't remember
that I ever read a user complaining about the "More" feature within
years of forum reading. Either people really did not regard it as such
a nuisance or if they did they easily changed it with the menue
editor.
I also experienced that people who install apps the manual way tend to
place them on the desktop (create an icon) rather for quick access
than care for putting them in the menue.

I have never complained about that *very* *annoying* feature. And I am sure many others annoyed by it haven't complained in a forum. Having a nice stable easily accessible menu, in alphabetical order works best for me. (If there are too many items for one column in the menu page, automatically add a parallel column, as used to be the case.) If someone wants that cache-cache behavior, at least it should be an option, and not fixed. (e.g,, as in Microsoft windows, where cache-cache is the default, but it can be disabled with a readily accessible option.) Sure, you can always rearrange the menu, but when eventually the application is uninstalled, the changes will remain in the menu. Another unnecessary nuisance.

my 2 cents :)
