After I upgraded to 12.04 from 11.10, my Home Lens (the default lens when you press super key) seems broken. It no long shows default six big icons that were there previously in 11.10, but instead seems to show the Apps lens.

Why is this? Is it a bug?

The new style Dash is the default in 12.04:

User testing showed that the old 11.10 dash confused new users and IMHO - really was not as useful as it could have been.

You have direct access to the different lenses by right-click of the dash icon:
