I attended a talk on menus, tree-navs, and the like a few years back at a No Fluff conference. The thrust of the talk was, why should you waste time proving to your machine that you know the location of your desired item in a menu hierarchy? If you know what you're looking for, you should be able to just tell your computer "Give me X" and have it respond with the correct item/action. I've been able to cut short a lot of time wasting by telling my devs "Just ctrl-shift-R it" when they're hunting for a class in Eclipse. What Ubuntu is doing here is Ctrl-Shift-R writ large, and I applaud it even though I've spent the last year or so giving them shite for screwing up a perfectly good interface.
