I have just finished watching Scopes design evolution from UOS. They are
proposing to have all scopes organized in some kind of browser-like way.
And at first I was so amazed about the future of it and liked the new
ideas very much. But as I kept thinking more and more about it, I can't
help but wonder why can't that be just an app with plugins?

Well the first reason is that the Dash is a scope in Unity 8.

I wonder that there's no desktop design story yet. I wonder if it makes sense to be a full-screen overlay that the Super key can access, and can be resized smaller if desired (like it is today in Unity 7).

But if it's essential on a phone or tablet, you probably won't want it to just disappear when you plug your device into a monitor, so surely there must be a great, adaptable way to present that aspect of Unity.
