Sorry, but these suggestions have been discussed several times already on gnome-shell-list, and they've been rejected by the designers. The idea is that the Windows/Applications labels will go away, and an improved file management UI will be added instead of places. This is known as Finding and Reminding, but sadly it's not been designed precisely. See for a detailed presentation: https://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Design/Whiteboards/FindingAndReminding
As a general rule, Shell-related discussions should go to the gnome-shell-list instead of usability. And design is done on the #gnome-shell IRC channel. Thanks for providing mock-ups anyway!
