If the bracketed comment is yours, I'm guessing that they mean they like
how Gnome has three menus.

Applications (lists the applications, each categorised).  Places is the
next menu, with bookmarks to places on your system (e.g. home, CD/DVD,
and others), System being the menus to do with control panels for your
system preferences and overall system settings.  Abbreviated sample:

Applications        Places           System
 + Games             + Home folder    + Preferences
 + Internet          + Desktop            + Personal
     + Firefox       + downloads          + Look and feel
     + Pidgin                         + Administration
 + Office                                 + Add/remove software
                                          + Printing
                                          + Services

KDE, typically, had everything branching out from one tree, like the old
crappy Windows start menu, which meant quite a bit of fiddly drilling
down.  All the more worse by the organisation of the menu, and nearly
every application starting with the letter K.

The new KDE menu seems to be copying the new crappy Windows start menu.
