That said, I think we should not overly subdivide. If the menu depth gets too large, we will be spending more time clicking menu levels than scanning a menu list for the app name. For example in my experience, I may have a couple of astronomy apps, but rarely 50 installed on any one system. I doubt many users will want to click Apps -> Science -> Astronomy -> Cosmology to get a list containing 1 cosmology program that is installed. Same for other fields of science. How many of us actually have more than 5-10 apps installed for a given field?
I second this idea. I like to have all the applications I use frequently in the same section (Science). I routinely use physics and chemistry programs and I only see myself wasting time in clicking down a huge menu tree.
