+1 for paginating applications.

Personally, I never use the Unity homepage.  The only time I ever use unity
is to find applications.  All the other stuff is extraneous to me and seems
like a duplication of functions that exist elsewhere.  Regardless of my
unity habits, I do think that applications need to take the forefront since
that seems to be unity's primary role.
