I see there is a lot of concern regarding the placement of plugins in menus, the menu hierarchy... Its true that the menus contribute greatly to the UI and UX...
So why not leave it to the user to decide how they want their menus? We could implement something like chrome's bookmark manager [1] where one can just drag and drop the plugin from the current-menu to the target--menu (where the 'menu's refer to the folders in the bookmark mgr and the plugins refer to the bookmarks). So we could call this a '*menu-manager*'. I've been using GIMP for 4 years now... and I'd love to have such a feature! what do you think?
