YMMV. I also hate it (and use the simple, GenX-compatible alphabetically-ordered list) but all my kids and also my wife prefer the weird hex grid — they're just faster with it, it doesn't slow them down the way it does to my 1970s heavy-rock brain ¯\\_(ಠ_ಠ)_/¯

I can see how it is faster since you can see more apps at once but I just hate the scavenger hunt of it.

I feel like something normal like a 4x4 grid with multiple customizable pages would have made more sense.
