Hmm... do you use icon view? I prefer list view, and I sort my applications anyway (I've got Audio, Games, GFX & Multimedia, iApps, Internet, and a number of others). Whenever I install new software, I put it in one of these folders.
Whenever I don't have anything else to do, I usually go here. Or I work on one of my songs. Or web design. Or a hookup website. But mostly here; there's always something new.
