One man's opinion
Don't noooobody take offense at this. This is merely an observation, based on a lot of years of looking at this. Traditionally the kind of people who have created/used Linux and other Unix systems have been tinkerers. If you asked them what the system is good for they'd say tinkering. Therefore when it came time for them to create menus to help with using the system, they naturally filled those menus with tools/programs to be used for tinkering. Tinker toys! Those of us who want to use the system for, for example, making money would like to see the menus filled with a different set of applications/tools. But we just can't ask those guys to do it for us; they can't because they just don't see things the same way that we do. This is somewhat of a dilemma because we all want more and more newbies from the business community to start using Linux. That's how we grow and how drivers for the latest hardware ultimately become more available.
Does anybody agree with the idea of trying to define a default set of menus via these forums? Then maybe submitting said list to the folks over at KDE?
