Comment (by stippi):

 I agree. At the same time, I think "Show me only available packages" and
 "Show me only what I have installed" are both valid use-cases. Maybe the
 rational to not show installed packages by default is flawed. I thought
 usually one does not want to see them. But maybe one is as likely to open
 HaikuDepot to uninstall or update a package as one is to open it for
 finding new software. How about these proposed changes:

  * Show installed packages by default

 Would it be a good idea to also remember the settings of "Show installed"
 and "Show available" across sessions? Or could this lead to confusing
 situations?
