Putting aside the fact that such knee-jerk answers don't help solve any
problem, I'm more than experienced to find alternative ways anyway, I
think it is a terrible mistake to "dumbify" users by making it almost
only wysiwyg, and providing little coherence.

'Mind you, to me the problem is not "not having" this root menu entry,
but a general movement towards stupidifying the GUI, and zero
educational information about the system.
