Of course, there is the Web, but it is rather cumbersome to search the Web to find an application which is already on my harddisk. On Unix there is apropos, but under Mac OSX this command only finds command line applications. It's a really great screen capture application, but how can I remember that "Snagit" is a screen capture application? As for its icon, it shows a white "S" on blue background, which isn't very helpful either.
Typical example: I installed Snagit during my last Parallels upgrade (it came as a bundle).
Sometimes I'm looking for "that great application I have installed a few monts ago" but I am unable to remember its name, and I can spend a long time searching for it among hundreds of other apps. My Applications folder has 486 entries, applications that have accumulated in the 30 years I'm using Apple hardware and software.
