Isn't it easier to use the keyboard (eg: Start + 'Exce.. + Enter) to launch apps, than go to the mouse?

Most ubuntu users had a similar transition, when they moved from gnome to unity. It isn't that bad; or even at all.

If my hand is on the keyboard, it's easier to use the terminal.

(Classic shell still has the search feature. But often I launch apps before remembering their name - I'm a big user of apropos to recall commands. I remember locations. May be a difference in cognitive style.)
