This is hard to internalise, learning the arbitrary ranges. If I want JS, I 
can't instantly know which sub menu it is. It doesn't take long though, but 
it's nice to avoid this for UX.

My categories are clearer than Matthews, but yes probably some users won't know 
about static Vs dynamic typing - they would hopefully pick up the distinction 
by inspecting the contents. Or we could keep the status quo and add C Family 
and Functional. These categories are known by their users.

> don't hard code some set of groups,

I don't think users will bother to redefine these groups, why support that? 
Also did you see my 2nd comment about user-set ungrouped filetypes?

Please can we avoid emotive language and stick to constructive criticism? I'm 
anxious, my heart is beating fast as I type this. It just makes collaboration 
more difficult.
