I believe that the general problem with menus is semantics. In many disciplines, common words have been re-purposed and given new meanings, which makes menus or documentation very difficult to use for a newbie.
For that matter, one of the biggest problems with J help is semantics. J has re-purposed English parts-of-speech words (noun, verb, adverb, etc.) for specific concepts in J, which makes finding things using search in the J docs typically unhelpful. It is particularly difficult to find information on standard programming concepts such as variables or constants, since those concepts have been re-named in J.
