Precisely what features do you need in a menu?

If so many DOS users can be pleased (easy, I admit!) why is it
so hard to please UNIX users? Do UNIX users really have so much

I thought a menu system should essentially provide a choice
of frequently executed programs to avoid the command line; can 
this be difficult to provide?
