I don't know about worthless. I actually think it might have some cool potential. It does have a few differences than a standard grid view. Firstly, in theory, you can drag and drop applications like in iOS. This includes dropping one application on top of another to form a folder. Many blind people already know about this from having an iDevice. I'd kind of like a nice home screen or three with some cool folders. The launchpad also has another interesting feature: in addition to looking in /Applications (off the root), it also looks in ~/Applications (off the home directory). I could imagine some interesting uses for that. But as you've pointed out elsewhere, we have several quite handy ways to launch applications.
