Comment (by ruud@…):

 @ianboo, I always use 'theme-location' instead of 'menu' because i want to
 be sure of which menu I display (set with register_nav_menu(s)), and not
 rely on some coincidental  match between the id,name or slug of the menu.
 Using 'menu' should work, though in my experience it sometimes
 unexpectedly failed on me, so I switched to 'theme-location' instead.

 Nowadays I'm not having that much of a problem with the menu's anymore
 (using WP3.4.1 and lower). At the time I was having problems with the
 WP_Search plugin interfering with the save action of the menu.

 However: for larger sites (with long (sub)menu's) I still use the above
 mentioned hack. The search plugin just made things even worse.

 I would say that the fact some themes make their own walker is nice for
 the users of these themes, but probably not for the majority of the users.
 Then again the majority of the users is not going to build a website with
 very long menu's either...

 For larger menu structures the current menu UX and saving of menu-items
 etc. is not very well suited. Changing it probably isn't that easy.
