I too was initially thrown off when I first saw the "shallow menus" in
GNOME when I used Ubuntu.

After I got used to it though, I loved it!

I personally am in favour of keeping the Apps, Places, System menus as
I think they are great for easy navigation.

It's so much better than having one large menu and having to dig
through it for commonly used things.
