Hi,


I welcome better presentation of the menus since they get rather big (platoon 
rule of thumb: any more than ~12 in any level/group gets a bit overwhelming), 
but wrt "search to run" as the primary instead of augmenting method, I fear 
that way is not very discoverable -- at least I'd like to avoid the situation 
where a new user needs to know the name of what they're looking for before they 
can find it, which isn't so good to explore & learn about new modules you don't 
know exist yet. Especially for a software so big as ours which takes years to 
fully know.

We are spatial creatures, so a spatial model for menu layout where we can use 
our spatial & muscle memories helps I think. Our monitors are getting really 
wide these days, both desktop and laptop, and so top menu bars will fit even 
better than they used to, we just have to make the windows a bit wider to 
compensate. Luckily these days there's space for that. (2c)


regards,
Hamish
