Actually, though it requires somewhat of a paradigm shift, the slab menu is actually prompting you to an increased productivity menu. As has been shown time and time again, browsing menus for an application is a terribly inefficient way to work. Both openSUSE's KDE and GNOME desktops are putting emphasis on the Alt+F2 launcher (several are available). The only time you should use a menu is to grap an app you know you've just run (the "Favorites" and "Recent" sections) or to see what you have installed (in which case, the Application browser is just as well equipped). And if you want to use the menu anyway, you are encouraged to use the search bar at the top of both KDE and GNOME's Slab menu. Despite the controversy, it is an immense productivity enhancement (and Novell knows that; for big business people, time is money).
Of course, the standard menus are only a click away on both desktops.
