Comment # 8 on bug 1074138 from Adam Majer

In "modern" UI, like if you look at Thunderbird or Firefox or Chrome, when you
want to find something, you have search-on-type feature. A snappy UI allows for
something like that to actually be implemented.

Listing all packages is useful, especially if I want to remove things I don't
use and I don't know in which category things exist. In my case, it would be
going down the list of all installed packages and seeing if I can uninstall
things I don't use anymore.
