I don't get the hate towards LaunchPad. It's a totally optional feature which actually helps out most normal users. I use it because I have a ton of apps installed and sometimes I just don't remember what an infrequently used app is named. Especially true when I'm buying things from the App Store. I got a great SFTP client the other day and I have absolutely no clue what it's called. I know the icon is a forklift. Great app but if you put a gun to my head I couldn't tell you the name of it. I don't SFTP enough to have it sitting in my dock 24x7x365.
