Indeed. And I for example, being a visual person, never use any keyboard 
shortcut at all. I prefer menus even in Emacs!

It is important to keep in mind that people, novice or expert, have 
wildly different, personal ways to understand, navigate and interact 
with software. There is no such thing as single universal good practice, 
and no ground for imposing a specific interaction on all.

BTW I will show how menus are used in muO in the UKSG meeting this evening:
