Hello!
I don't want this to be just another Unity thread, but if you want to merge it, it's ok.
I'm just wondering: I spent a very small amount of my time in the menus (most applications I use are Java-based). I know that everyone has his or hers own way of using the desktop environment, and no way is better than the other. I know that it might be a problem to re-learn things again and again, and that people want to keep things hey know. But, personally, I find the things why I use a specific system beneath the hood of the system, not in the eye-candy or the amout of clicks I need to start a program, as every system I've ever tried (be it Windows, MacOS, Ubuntu with Gnome, Unity or KDE) had a way to provide me with a one-click-to-my-favourite-application.
Why is the way the menu/the access to applications is organized so important for people that they switch the DE to save one click? Are you really switching and starting applications that often a day that it counts? That you don't get used to it in one or two days?
I really DON'T want to tell anyone that his or her criticism is stupid, I'm just wondering, as the way the menu looks like or is organized was always a minor problem for me.
