Comment (by grahamarmfield):

 Interested to see all the debate about the UI for the Menus area.

 Would please ask that we also consider accessibility in the discussion.
 There is an outstanding trac ticket #14045 (and duplicate #21289) about
 accessibility of the custom menu builder. Basically it is impossible or
 very difficult to be able to fully create a custom menu and amend the
 hierarchy if you can't use a mouse. The drag and drop functionality is an
 alien concept to blind users who will probably be using keyboard
 interaction with their screen readers.

 Any solution to the Menus functionality should either be a) accessible for
 everyone, or b) an alternate accessible version should be provided
 alongside the drag/drop interface (as per Widgets).

 Have heard mention on another ticket that there might be a rudimentary
 accessible non-js version in place already. Is that actually true, and
 could it form the basis for an accessible way forward?
