That's a good idea - discovery is important.
A launcher could also be a "standard" middle layer that defines common key bindings for tasks that people prefer different TUI applications for (e.g. "m" --> mail - whether it's "mutt" or "mail" or "sup-mail" or "pine" behind it).
I don't use one at present, but took the short cut to define 1-letter shell aliases for some of the more common ones:

e: _e_dit <file> (Sublime)
n: _n_ote taking (own system)
m: new e-_m_ail (sup-mail)
p: show processes (htop)
