Terminal and (I guess other) GUI apps do entirely _different_ things. Apps menu
in overview and apps menu in normal view do the _same_ thing.

It actually proves that some people were willing to put an effort into
_duplicating_ the functionality already present in overview, because they found
that going into overview involves _unnecessary_ steps.

I did not imply that users that use gnome-shell as is are insane. What I said
was that GUI behaviour that introduces many _unnecessary_ steps for _no_
_benefit_ is insane.
