Bug Description
The removal of the Ubuntu Dash button in the panel (newer builds) is a regression in both looks and functionality for several reasons.
Beginning with aesthetics, the Circle of Friends is the Ubuntu logo, it's the visual identity of the Operating system and only having it on view when the Launcher is visible is foolish.
We also have the advantage of most new users already being used to clicking on a logo to get to a 'menu'.
In terms of functionality, having to make the Launcher appear in order to open Dash with a mouse is less efficient than being able to move straight to an already visible logo and click on it. Additionally, having the Dash button in the Launcher clutters the application list and could cause new users to confuse it with another application.
Please, restore the BFB.
Edit-- After the release of Oneiric and daily use, I've determined that usability has regressed significantly with the removal of the BFB Launcher invoke!
