I haven't purchased but I have seen it run and played with it.  It works quite
well. I don't know what MFMenu+ looks like so I cant compare.  It lets you
launch documents and applications and switch between opened applications. You
can also go the the DA handler.  It has a "Configure" and a "Preferences" menu
items. Configure lets you add applications to the list and attach documents to
an application. Preferences lets you turn on and off features like whether the
icon appears on boot up, whether the small icon appears in the menu bar, if
the application switching section of the menu appears, if the menu can be
pulled down on the left, if the menu is to drop down automatically upon the
cursor entering the pulldown regions, a key board shortcut to application
switching, if small icons are to appear in the menu, whether the menu can be
pulled down anywhere and what the modifier keys are to do so.

The only short comming I could find is to open a document for an application
that is already open.  I tried this with a beta 6.0 System and it still didn't
work.
