I can't agree with this.  I don't think drop downs are a big usability
step forwards, I actually believe often times it's a step backwards.
I am of the opinion that if you need all these levels of drop-downs
then chances are the problem is in your IA.  It's like throwing more
hardware at poorly designed software--eventually it will catch up to
you.
