I see the value of the App Library, but with the volume of apps I have and use often, I'd like the ability to edit it. It's auto placement into certain categories isn't helpful for many of the apps I use.

You can already edit the regular home screens to whatever layout you want. The gallery is an automatic view, and an alphabetized view to offer a different way to find Apps.
Does not make much sense to edit it to match your home screen view.
You can already make folders with specific apps in the normal home screen view.
Well, I’m not thinking I want to replicate the home screen, but instead to utilize some of the cool display features in the app library to organize those views a bit more to my liking.
In the app library, I do like the category icon visual display with three bigger apps and the smaller ones linking to the complete list..
I like that in the app library when you’re going into a folder it contains all the apps in that folder in one continuous swipe as opposed to side swiping in a folder.
main gripe is that categories that Apple has lumped everything into don’t make sense for me to find anything. And often times when I need an app I don’t remember the name of it so the Search function isn’t too helpful. For example if I knew my app was in a app library folder called creation and I had all my font abs and layout apps there might be able to scroll through it and find it immediately visually.
That said, I guess I’ll just continue using my home screen .. sigh

This is the first iteration of this feature. I suspect, over time, Apple will make changes. You should let them know what you'd like to see.
