There are several cases where icons in menus are *extremely* useful. For example, while using Inkscape, if you want to "Mirror" and object horizontally, and without menu icons, you're going to scan each line of text to see which item suits your need. If you have good icons, you immediately spot the one you need. Same in GIMP for many, many actions you can perform on an image. I remember very clearly that, in this particular situation, I said to myself "Wow, menu icons are really a strong asset in Linux, over Windows". And I believe there are countless such cases.
