The categories just take up to much space for something I might only want to get access to once a day. Unless of course... you use Zeitgeist so it only ever shows the individual categories I might want during any given task ;-) Even then though... Find is better. Though the final design would need to make the 'Find' pop more, ie. stand out. It needs to be an icon perhaps. Just having a word doesn't really draw attention to it as much as it needs. ‘Find’ is better than having the categories on display.

Just use your computer a day or two, and check if you know its name every time you look for a file. No way it can be 100%. The "browsing" solution cannot be totally replaced unfortunately. It will take time before we all put tags on all our files to find them easily with keywords.

It look cleaner and, under the guise of 'find', is much more logical in terms of actioning. + 1 for the the “find” menu applet iteration, too.
