or disagree with but excluding people as atypical doesn't help.  FYI, I am
in a DevOps role now and would count myself as part of the target audience
for Fedora workstation since funny enough I am running Fedora in my work
laptop and doing the sort of things you would expect someone running Fedora
workstation to do. Have we talked to anyone else in the target audience or
done any usability studies that suggest that filtering out command line
apps or libraries is actually helpful?  What GNOME Software does *is* make
an assumption and that needs to be validated.

I actually found Software useful for the first time today. I had
vim-enhanced installed but I really wanted gVim. Searching for it using dnf
yielded nothing, and of course searching for vim yields loads of noise. (I
also tried searching for vim-gtk, vim-gnome, etc.) Searching for vim in
Software immediately found what I was after though. If Software included
libraries etc. it would be just as unhelpful as dnf for cases like this.
