I've marked this as a design regression. In Unity 4, a new user clicks on the Dash and everything is made obvious to them in the Shortcuts lens. They can find apps easily.
In Unity 5 however, there seems to be no Shortcuts lens. The default lens on a fresh install is just blank by default. And there aren't even any tooltips for the icons at the bottom of the dash to tell you where to find apps. You just have to explore and click on each blindly to find apps. That's very bad for new users. Many of whom are bound to assume there are no apps installed, other than those in the launcher.
