I started making use of the Warpcenter when it first came out in Warp 4, 
which as you recall came out before Win95 which is when Windy got one 
(much more limited than the one on OS/2 at the time... it wasn't until 
W2K that it even started to get as powerful and still isn't in some 
ways).  It makes for easy access as I usually have multiple program 
windows open all over the screen (can't hardly stand having apps full 
screen).  I don't use it quite the same as I used to as I started using 
hotkeys from xworkplace many years ago.  I use two of them (one top and 
one bottom) where the bottom one just has lswitcher setup so that I can 
change priorities and switch tasks quickly.
I can understand someone not liking the centers as I never liked the 
launchpad from earlier OS/2 versions (though I did use it for some 
functions).
