"In their efforts to rethink the desktop, KDE 4 developers replaced the classic menu with Kickoff."
To me Lancelot looks much like improved Kickoff.
Though I'm one of those users who wasn't moved by Kickoff introduction. I belong to users who greatly appreciate Alt-F2 minicli and things like Katapult.
I'm not into navigating menus, and Kickoff's capability to search menu is in fact greatly appreciated. From those few times I had to open Kickoff menu, first few times I used search and now I use the autogenerated favorites.
But then again: I can only vote for the improved functionality present in Lancelot, though I'm already fine with Kickoff. My usage of KDE Menu is tiny fraction of what I generally do (99%: xterm + bash + vim) and I have to have my own launchers for many applications anyway.
