My view of the problem that often occurs with menus is that they go
to deep.  This leads to two effects.  For the experienced user
who knows what he wants and how to get it, the traversal through
several levels of menu is very annoying.  The novice user who knows
he can do something but finds on the top menu, several entries which
may relate to the specific task must traverse each menu (and each
sub-menu) hoping to find an entry which lets him do the thing he wants.
