 Replying to [comment:17 chipbennett]:

 A couple of thoughts:

 A) There is no reason to kick up the exact same conversation in two spots
 (both here and on the [http://make.wordpress.org/ui/2013/03/07/heres-the-
 last-round-of-menus-usability-tests/#comment-22673 make/UI P2]).  I assure
 you that your feedback has been heard.  In the future, can we please try
 to keep it to a single thread?

 B) This is probably not the best ticket to bring up feedback about "theme
 locations".  In fact "theme locations" wasn't mentioned at all, until your
 comment.  If you'd like to discuss this in a ticket, please create a new
 ticket.

 C) We've literally been discussing the revamp of menus for the 3.6 release
 for what, the [ http://make.wordpress.org/ui/2013/01/01/i-ran-two-users-
 through-a-set-of/past 2 months]?  And you pick now (6 days before hard
 freeze on feature development) to suggest that we start all over? :-)

 D) I think that the underlying difference is you are looking at it purely
 from a "power users" standpoint, and I'm looking at it from a "majority of
 our users" standpoint.  Unfortunately, you can't have it both ways.  The
 old menus screen was miserable for the majority of users, plain and
 simple.  The steps we took in this cycle were to eliminate complexity for
 the majority of the users.

 E) Ultimately the decision is not mine (I'm not a core committer, nor a
 lead), but I'm happy with the progress that we've made in simplifying the
 menus screen this cycle.
