Where's Alan? IIRC there is some terribly important user interface guideline that says top level menus should be named with verbs or at least not plural or some such. Though as I look above I see Options and Tools in this very window.
Lots of menus in lots of programs use plural nouns for the menus. I think clarity and intuitiveness has a priority over guidelines.
Also didn't Ted want the Effects or Extensions menu to disappear completely being absorbed into other menus as things fit properly?
This is a good thing to do, and my proposal is a step in that direction, as it moves a lot of stuff out of that menu. But it will never be possible to remove the menu completely, if only because users write their own extensions and there must be a place where they end up.
