Carlos, Well, there IS a "Filter Results" dropdown that brings up the application categories. It works, but this method takes a few more mouse clicks than I would like. I posited another idea in a different thread to just add the classic menu functionality into the Dash button as a right-click event. This way, the interface itself isn't changed (no additional buttons, Dash and Lenses continue to work as they do), and those of us who want a more old-school approach to finding apps get to have it.
