My philosophy isn't your philosophy - so you'll be different.
However, I am an old guy.

Who started in the beginning.
When things were simpler.

I've seen a LOT of people who can't find their stuff.
This happens on Linux, Windows, Mac, and on mobile devices.

That's why they have to resort to crutches like searching for apps, just to
find their apps. 

To me, that's ridiculous.

For me, nothing used often is ever more than two taps away.
a. If it's frequently used, it's on the one desktop.
b. Otherwise, it's in the appropriate functional folder.
c. If it's not frequently used, its' in the app drawer.

I never allow more than one desktop.
(On iOS 8+, you're stuck with a minimum of two desktop screens, which is
idiotic but almost everything on iOS is idiotic because iOS is aimed mostly
at idiots IMHO).

Nothing (except Google becuase it's a special case) is stored by brand
name.  Note that on most computers, the installers *love* to install by
brand name. It's what Marketing People do. I don't.

But, to each his own.
To me, a perfect system is one where I can find any app instantly.
