The Base tab itself could be presented as a list rather than a grid.

IMHO, it'd be great if LibreOffice could present each of its modules as
completely separate applications, regardless of the fact that it's really
just one.
Launching a module would launch the module-specific section of the Start
Center, only without tabs for the other modules. It would, in effect, be
very much like mobile apps or Apple's Document Library [1]. The advantage
of that would be being able to tweak the UI of each module based on the
content it works with.
