I think search is very different from browsing. Browsing is appropriate at different times than search. Some people (independently of whether they are power users or not) like browsing more than search or search more than browsing. There are many cases in which it makes sense to support those two modes†. I launch all my apps using Spotlight but I hardly ever search for music in iTunes. In my music library I rely (nearly) solely on browsing, using search doesn’t do anything for me. (Maybe that’s because I have a very limited number of apps and I know all their names but I have so many more songs and I often don’t even know the title I want to play, just the general direction I want to go?) — † And some in which it doesn’t really, e.g. web search.
