Ok, mutt was bad example (thats why I added 'kind of' after it). But the others are usable right after starting. Of course there have to be mentioned that the app is made for terminal. I don't know this new Software Center but I hope there will be some kind of sorting as Ubuntu's one has. And I doubt that mutt would be the first one in popularity :) This would resolve the problem with long-list confusion. > I hope the screenshots and features apps in programs like gnome-software > will serve as a good hint.
