Let's be friends.
The desktop app seems pretty terrible. I can't believe that there's not any sort artist list to help you filter through stuff. It seems like this would make finding stuff in even a moderate size collection rather annoying. It looks like the mobile app is even worse, it just crams it all under "Starred". Do they expect you to put every artist or album in a playlist manually? Or do people that use this just stick stuff in playlists and never really listen by album or artist?

It also tried to import my iTunes library without asking me. I stopped it and removed iTunes from the sources list, but it's still there in my sidebar with a few of my albums showing up and I'm not sure if deleting that will have any consequences.

You can sort it by artist or just enter something in the filter box.

Basically yes. The app isn't very good as anything more than just a combination of streaming with some synced files. You can change what gets synced though but your local files are in a single playlist to tick, so you can't sync anything separately within that without making a playlist.

I believe search always prioritises local files though.

I've just tried it and deleting something from spotify has no effect on the actual files. I think it caches them too (it certainly does on the mobile one) so if it's still there it will go eventually.

To filter by artist, click the 'Artist' column header in the search results box. e.g. search 'queen', click 'Artist' column header, scroll through to Queen songs.

The artist and album names in the search results listings are also hyperlinks, so you can click that to go to either the artist overview/discography page or the album tracklist - e.g. search 'queen', click 'Queen' hyperlink in Artist column, go to Queen overview page.

Unless I'm misunderstanding you, the 'What's New' section in the left-hand column brings up a grid of new releases and the Spotify twitter feed (mixed in with your friends' shared music if you link to facebook).

I don't know if I'm misreading you or not, but it's entirely possible to play by album in the mobile app (not play by artist though :( ).

I see that you can do this, but I was hoping for a way to browse starred artists/albums without having to type anything into the filter box. Scrolling through a list of all your songs, even when sorting by artist, feels a lot slower than scrolling through just a list of artists and clicking on one to see all of their songs/albums.

It looks like you can play by album, but you have to search for it first. This doesn't really work well if you have the device in a car mount and are trying to switch albums at a stop light.

The desktop client doesn't appear to remember column widths of searches which is annoying. Also the Play Queue apparently has "active" and "passive" elements (yellow and white respectively) which act really weird. I play one song from the Transformers 2 soundtrack and it passively queues up the entire album to play 4 times. Doesn't make sense.
