I am very much and totally undecided on this either... On one hand, sub-menus in sub-menus can be a bit tedious to navigate in, hence the change to use comments a separators. On the other hand, the new layout is definitely quite long, indeed, and difficult to navigate as well. I'll revert to use sub-menus, unless Peter chimes in to voice his preference for the new layout.
