Sometimes, for some reasons, we must quickly shut down the pc or the laptop to do other important things. So you are in a trouble if you have an installation process running of a large quantity/sized packages that will take a long time to finish on those moments.

1)Remove things like Update Manager and Synaptic Package Manager from the list of System Tools, since they are installed by default and we don't really want people removing them. If someone is hell bent on removing that sort of thing they ought to at least know how to use Synaptic or apt-get.

2) Related to above: remove things that aren't applications! I want to add/remove applications. Not codecs and interpreters. Python is currently listed as the most popular application! What the hell? These things get pulled in as and when they are needed, they don't need to be listed separately.

3)Redesign to be prettier. appnr.com is prettier than what we have now but still not perfect. Love the ability to see screenshots/videos though.
-Start by removing the "Show:" dropdown. If I don't want to install closed source apps, then why did I enable that repo?
-More categories would help in making the individual lists shorter

Default ordering of applications should be by popularity instead of just alphabetical order.

This application will give also the following informations:

App. name, Usage frequency (never, low, average, high, perhaps number), Last used date and time.

As managing solution will provide:
- Remove the package which provides the app
- Find and install alternative for the given app (for ex. instead of Eye of Gnome suggest GThumb (IT IS JUST AN EXAMPLE!))

Note:
I think that in this way we could help the new users to get more familiar with Ubuntu.

Don't change so much this software that needs to stay very simple to use.

Just:

Add a line "last installed" or "more used" and use it as a default page at the startup.
Having "all the softwares" classified alphabeticaly at the startup is irrelevant.

Add a button "more softwares" at the bottom for power-users with the add-ons sorted by applications (firefox, Ooo, Pidgin...)

Here is a mock-up of my idea : http://winnnerflo.free.fr/bordel/mock-up.png
