The problem there becomes that people have more applications than they want in
the dock, so they're used to going to Finder -> Applications for anything they
run. ("Why do I have to go into /Utilities/? Ugh!")
djb-esque /command could be implemented as a smart folder located at
/Applications, aggregating from ~/Applications, /System/Applications, and
anything flagged @Application in Spotlight. There wouldn't be anything to hate
about that, right..?
