Do you remember really old FreePBX?  It had menu systems split apart in 
different areas, it was confusing and wasted a lot of time unless you were 
really used to the GUI.  It is part of what drove me to just use the config 
files for so long until a worthy GUI came out, FreePBX got better, but my needs 
were too much as well. 

I mean I could see possibly adding some header tabs to the menu, but deciding 
what tabs will be a sub of "This Header Tab" is another one of those "why does 
it go there" questions, and could be confusing when people are looking for it.  
Possibly an "IVR" Tab could have Voice Menu's, Record a Menu, anything related 
to building your menu and audio files as sub tabs hidden until you click IVR. 
Then what are the headings for the rest of the master tabs, and what goes under 
them?

All in all I think they are doing a great job the way it is, with as many 
features as get added I think a little scrolling is an easy thing to do 
compared to the problems other GUI's have splitting menu's and making strange 
decisions on where things will be hidden.
