Is there a good reason to require the user to have to click "See more results" when opening the Applications Dash? Especially when users use dconf to disable the display of "recent" and/or "available" apps, why not display all apps by default? 
I was taking a look at the Windows 8 Consumer Preview to see how they handle application display and they have a similar setup where user taps a shortcut and the "Applications Lens" shows up. Except Windows 8 displays all apps by default with functional scrolling via PageUp & PageDown.
It is great that adding PageUp & PageDown functionality to the Dash has been green-lit by Mark. But what is gained from limiting display of installed applications when a user goes to the Applications Lens (especially when the "available apps" section is hidden)?
