 Replying to [comment:48 helen]:
 > Technically speaking, this is a little bit different than attachments -
 a menu is a taxonomy term, and each nav menu item is a post in that post
 type associated with that taxonomy term (both the taxonomy and post type
 being non-exposed/non-public).

 Oh, it's definitely a little bit different :)

 The main reasoning I bring up a split UI is twofold:

 1. The UI as-is is cluttered and doesn't have a clear primary purpose.
 Currently, it's used for creating and managing menus as well as assigning
 menu locations. It's a vacuum-packed approach that is both difficult to
 organize and emphasize priority.

 2. A split UI allows for prioritizing the screens' purpose. A screen for
 managing menus and locations, a screen for editing the menus. The latter
 screen is familiar to people because it's re-used all over the Dashboard.
