KDE developer Pinheiro revealed his ideas on the next KDE menu, dubbed 'Raptor'. "What is Raptor? Raptor is a an amazing project I have been working on in the last few days. It tries to be a fresh new way of finding your desktop applications, and interacting with its users." A design document (containing more screenshots) is also available [.pdf].

I don't need an uber fancy looking panel that entertains me while I dig around trying to find applications. Let's keep it clean and simple guys! And, lets not lose sight of what the thing is supposed to do.
You're not going to like OS X then.........
Seriously though, both Gnome and KDE have ambled around with application menus over the years. KDE has had a bit of trouble organising some of their stuff, Novell went off and moved away from the top menu entry to creating the SLAB menu, which then got recreated for KDE, and nothing much definitive has happened to be honest. At least Raptor looks like a departure.
We'll have to see how this thing behaves once code is written and people can try it out. Arguing over screenshots is lame.
