The good news is that your more frequently used apps migrate to the top (bottom?) of the list. So you should only have to do a lot os scrolling when you need that almost never used app, or are trying an app for the first time. At least once you get in the swing of things. It's definitely a scrolling game for the first few days, as you try out all the new possibilities.
I expect there will be a management feature eventually. I'd like it to come soon, but it's possible it won't come before the next major update.
