Yes it would be very nice to have a proper "browse" function someday. Right now it's not really possible due to all languages sharing the article space and few users will be interested in having all languages sorted together. In the future with a more dictionary-aware wiki this would hopefully become possible.

In the US, and probably in other places where spelling is not phonetic, one of the most common uses for a dictionary (if not the most common) is to find what the correct spelling of a word is.

Only as useless as a paper dictionary already is.
Ehehe :) At least in a paper dictionary you are given a whole page of entries at once, and can skim them. On wiktionary you either get the full, single-article view or the empty index view which gives no indication a spelling might belong to the word one has in mind.
