We\u2019re all now used to long-pressing icons to maneuver them round and dragging icons on high of one another to create folders.

I\u2019m positive I\u2019ll get used to Purposes\u2014or possibly I\u2019ll even come round to Highlight\u2014but it surely\u2019s a disgrace to wave goodbye to one thing as easy and efficient as Launchpad.
