It seems "Science" here has the meaning "natural sciences", I guess
that's usual in english. But how about pieces of software for social
sciences or humanities (I don't know of any, because I'm a biochemist,
but for sure there are some)?
And I also don't see a good place for tools used by scientists that are
not scientific software proper: most notably bibliography stuff. Should
this go to Office?
If we would split up Apps/Science into Apps/Science/{natural,social and
humanities}, we could also add Apps/Science/Tools for bibliography
things and such.
And, maybe related but not strictly connected to Science, how about
"Software to visualize processes and structures", like mind mapping?
