There's a problem with providing access to executables that no one has
solved very well. A modern platform -- Linux, Windows, OS X -- contains
hundred, if not thousands, of executables that a user may, at some
point, want to locate and launch.
The usual approach has been menus. This works fine within limits. But,
when the number of menu entries exceeds some threshold, the menu becomes
cumbersome and unwieldy.
The "screens of big icons" approaches in iOS, in the Launch Pad of OS X,
and the App Overview in Gnome Shell, are really menus with text entries
replaced or supplemented by icons. Gnome's Overview retains the
hierarchical nature of the Gnome 2 menus, although it's well disguised.
