Hello, I'm always using Kickoff menu instead of Kicker, so I would'nt 
like it to be removed.
I currently have no problem with it.


Here are some reasons:
- I prefer having separate tabs for favorites/all 
applications/Computer/History , instead of having a single huge menu 
with many submenus.
- I prefer the search feature of Kickoff, which displays immediatly the 
icon of the app I'm searching. In kicker, the search feature justs grays 
out the directories, but I still have to browse the tree to find the 
application I want. When the application list is very long, it is still 
not very convenient.
- I like the way applications are shown in menu: a "big" icon, 
application name written with big letters, application summary with 
small letters. So there is no confusion between application name and 
application summary.

Maybe we should just ship Kickoff as a separate application, like kbfx  ?
