Maybe it's not a design feature, but it gets in the way. (And yes: I'm using Windows 7 with the Windows Classic theme.)

I have a bunch of programs in my dock and I still prefer to open them with Alfred a lot of the time. If using 'CMD+space, ph, Enter' for Photoshop takes any longer than using quick launch then it's only by a minute amount.

You can still do that in Windows 8 as it still has the same merged quick-launch/task-bar.
