As requested by some people (Xu_R AKA The Old Man) an odt and pdf of the reasoning behind my kmenu setup.
I'm sorry, being under 20 is old? o_O

You can find a few submenus. But NOT TOO MANY! That's where I think openSUSE got it wrong. It's more work to the average user, and a pain in the ass after a navigating them a few times.

I'm not going to go into the details like what kind of apps should be in each category. The thing is, less is better for some people. And giving sub-menu after sub-menu will drive someone crazy (eventually) if they are not already by looking at the structure.
<snip> I don't like lots of submenus either but there are so many options available in Linux that the huge menus which can popup are more cumbersome and confusing that the submenus. I think we need to find a reasonable balance - John
