Apparently, kickoff was designed after several usability tests. Sometimes 
usability turns out to be counterintuitive but its hard to satisfy all. 
However, i have read about alternate approaches being considered for kde4 
including the use of the breadcrumbs widget in the menu.

Personaly, i rarely use the menu the few that i use are in the favourites menu 
(interestingly konsole was'nt there!) but i mostly use the run dialog these 
days.
