It is a real pita when all you want to do is launch one program. you 
have to wait a considerable amount of time for control-center to load, 
then you have to hunt for icons scattered all over creation, then your 
system memory is used up by control center and also takes some time to 
launch after the icon is found.

Except for it being even less eye appealing than the windows variant, it 
is always in ICON view and cannot be changed to list view. It sure would 
be nice for simple menu entries where you could launch a desired program 
to return.
