It is funny to see how UI discussion always heat up. The exact same thing happens with Blender. Even though Blender is notorious for its convoluted UI, they categorically refuse to do anything about it and insist it is fine the way it is.
Why not do some real UI research (one way mirror and all that) and let that be the final judge of it?

Johan this response is very terse and it has been received negatively here.
This desgin increases the clicking by 1 and requires a re-focus. But the design suggestion is only presented to document possible solutions given the degree to which different user's needs interfere.
It's only useful if the menu can be shown to be confusing. And I have no good data to show that it is at this time. A good study might show the opposite is true in practice.
We should get into the habit of asking for and running UX sessions. Maybe something we can do at LGM this year. :-)
