Two centrinos from an end-user...in the Desktop app, I nearly always use the context menu when possible. In fact, I mistakenly try and use the context menu on items in the search results table even though muscle memory alone should remind me that it's not available there thus necessitating a trip to the Item menu. Context menus on the Hub would be great in that users would be able to apply their common usage patterns within the Chandler suite regardless of infrastructure.
