 Replying to [comment:18 jscipione]:

I personally think that we should take the Application folders and
 Preferences out of Deskbar and replace them with Spotlight/Quicklaunch

 I disagree. I hate big icon grid launchers. Windows 95 like menus are much
 easier to use. The only problem in Haiku menu is that it is not well
 organized. It should have categories and be user-configurable.

 If you want to use Quicklunch or other launchers, nobody stop you, please
 don't break Deskbar. Unlike Ubuntu/Gnome 3/Mac OS X Haiku is one of
 systems that have normal applications menu instead of fullscreen giant
 icons grid. It may be good for smartphones, but not for PCs. Haiku is
 targeted for personal computers.
