Well... what about adding the same menu in both the vertical and
horizontal version so we can compare and see your points clearly? I
think I understand what you mean, it somehow feels "unnatural" the
movement you must do to chose an option, but I think this issue remains
whether is a vertical or an horizontal menu, since we use the same
pattern, we just change how do we start (vertical - [horizontal -
vertical] / [horizontal - vertical] - horizontal).
By the way, how come your comments _require_ JS to work? When
disabled, you don't provide the text-boxes neither a message to your users.
