I have to admit that I, too, use the standard GNOME menu. I wouldn't say that I dislike the application browser. It is just simply too slow for regular use. I look at the browser more as just that.. a "broswer." "Hmm... let's see what I have on my new computer." But once you know what you have, the browser in its current format becomes useless. In regular use, menus and desktop shortcuts/panel applets will always rule the day.
It's a conceptual mistake. If you open a menu, you expect to find your applications there. In the current version of main-menu, you find your most used apps, which is good, but you need another window to open other apps, with the result that you switch to the standard menu.
It probably could gain better traction if it had customizations to allow users to design their own layouts. After all, the idea behind application-browser was to make it easier for the user. Who knows better what's easier than the users themselves?
I think the easiest way to make it usable is to remove the browser and let the "More apps..." button open a sort of standard meny (XP style, to be clear). A better solution would be to do something like kickoff does in KDE.
