ubuntu: constructive criticism (2)

Another one I was thinking of recently:

There is no user friendly method of browsing apps for ubuntu. There's synaptic, sure, but you should know what you are looking for. There is no friendly information. Too many packages.

I don't want 'packages'. Packages are installation units, and there's too many of'm that really don't make sense to me. I want an iTunes-like browsing interface, with a pretty layout, a large application icon in the upper left corner, a nice description on the right, and a bunch of screenshots below.

Disclaimer: I use apt-get anyway, but my friends don't. Yep, I'm the only linux user in my circle of friends. How sad.
