No it's not, for several reasons:

1. Average users primarily use mouse based workflows.

2. Super isn't discoverable.

3. It confused users coming from other DEs.

4. It actually takes more keypresses than clicking a favorited app on a dock that is always available.

Overall it's less discoverable, less efficient, and not baked into the mind of computer users who are coming from almost any other bistro.

Oh I see, you're arguing for a dock-style mouse-based app launcher. I see no reason there can't be both that and keyboard-based Spotlight-like launcher too. It's not like one impedes the functionality of the other.

I see what you did :).
