It included the qualification "I think".  And "IMO".
And "especially".  And "generally".  And "IMHO".

As usual, you want to quibble.  (Sue me.)

After your first remark I clarified what I meant.

And yes, it's my impression that "many people have
come to get" the idea that many menus aren't worth
bothering with - in particular, I think, many
programmers.  And perhaps many Emacs users.

And one reason for that might be that sometimes
3rd-party Emacs libraries don't put a lot of
emphasis on providing good menu support.  Menus,
like doc, can often take back seat.  Programmers
like to code. ;-)

Have I added enough "perhaps", "might", "maybe",
"I think", "often", "sometimes" etc. for you?
(If not...)

What I say is only what I think.  YMMV.  I don't
preface everything I say with "It's my impression
that...".  (Do you?)

many people realize.  Good menus, especially.
