While I don't particularly care about KDE, I decided to take a look at the new menu and see what is so great about it since it is getting a lot of hype.

The menu itself is wasting too much space by default and the tabs at the bottom were way too huge. The menu does appear to be re-sizable though, but I think they really should work on compacting the entire menu.
