Comment (by PozHonks):

 OK, I start.[[BR]]

 1- Most third party plugins menu should "dwell" in Plugins sub-menu, by
 default, for example, it offers new administration functions, a tweak to
 enhance WordPress, adding a new possibility in posts (i.e.: adhesive,
 google sitemap, related post, WordPress Database Backup, rss syndication,
 contact-form, mailing list manager, spell checker, translator, advanced
 search, etc.)[[BR]]

 2- A third party plugins menu may be found in Manage menu only if it
 '''really enhances''' Posts, Pages, and Comments (i.e.: antispam plugins,
 UTW ).[[BR]]

 3- A third party plugins menu may be found in Options menu when they are
 '''really improving WordPress behavior''' in general (i.e.: WP-cache), not
 a simple option or function, those should go to the main Plugins
 menu.[[BR]]

 The only problem is to manage developer's ego because they all invent
 something that ''really'' improves WP, but at the end, and after 20
 plugins, alters the ease of use of the admin area.[[BR]]
 So, we need to find a good definition of what is ''really'' and what is
 ''not so really'' !!
