How do others feel about these adjustments to the menu layout? There's been general agreement I think that some adjustments to the menu layout are necessary; if we can get a rough concensus on some items, I'd love to see these incorporated for 0.43.

These are my personnel adjustments to the menus. The main philosophy behind the adjustments is if menu item already has "face time" in the UI then its ok to bury the Item in a clearly labeled submenu. Not all of the adjusts fall in to this category. Some just felt right. Others didn't seem to really belong in the menu they were in. All menus are now under 15 items, except the Effects menu which I renamed to Scripts
