How's this for an idea?
A 'most used' collection of menu entries that can be accessed via the F3 button?
This way everyone would get what they wanted.
We could have a vote to decide the initial collection of entries.

Pretty much every user of this software has their own needs, so if the

devs. answered all of them the root menu would be 6 screens long :)
