As I said, you can put a collection of lauchers in one drop-down "drawer."

With more labor and less efficiency.

Nope.  You can have multiples drawers, even multiple panels if you want,
vertical (left or right), horizontal (top or bottom), multiples of each.
Keep them all if you want.  Even ten separate task-oriented collections
would not require much real estate.  But I highly doubt anybody would
have that many.

Nope.  You have a directory with launchers the same way I have them
for the colored xterms.  If you have half a dozen, then create
a "drawer" on the panel, and drag your launchers to it.  Takes
a few seconds.  But again, if you are a vim user, things are much
easier and don't require launchers or system hot-keys.
