I'm currently working in company that makes medical software. I make no jokes about this, when I say, that doctors and other health people say going through a menu is too time consuming. 3 clicks...too much.

So we end up having to do a lot of things like keyboard shortcuts, lots of buttons, command button bars, context menus... Many of the things we see in the vista UI.

We still have the big menu available of course, though for some parts of the application, I don't even use it.
All the functionality is there in the buttons, command bars.

Personally, its simple. Can you use the application optimally? If yes, then its a good UI. If not, then its a bad UI.
