But I definitely do see the use-case for it. I'm not suggesting this minor change is earth-shattering or amazing. I know I can create folders currently and drag/drop them into the quick launch portion of the Start Menu but it's not as aesthetically pleasing or intuitive as something that would be more built-in and integrated. and then on top of that have the ability to toggle back to my all apps view.
