It would be very nice to have a new "Present Kickoff Application Launcher" effect for the active screen edges. For example, you'd be able to set it as the effect for the left bottom corner (with the default layout) and open the menu without clicking on it, and open your favorite applications with just one click.

This would be great for people who don't use a panel at all.

yeah, but that's on hover not on getting to the screen edge. it's much more easy to accidentally trigger the on hover activation than the screen edge one.

PS: I said "kickoff" in my first post, but the ideea should apply to any launcher

Well I agree. But as an new "ex-gamer" I think that screen edge could be a bit irritating in full screen apps. But then again screen edges should be turned off while full-screen apps run.
