Hi Silke,

I'm going to answer only a small part of your very long mail:

Your "clearly" negative example isn't clear for me at all, I love the
changes in MS Office - it took me a while getting used to them but for
me at least it's a lot easier and simpler to use now, so I'd say that's
only a clear negative example for some people...

All four second level operations (new, cut, copy and delete) can be done
with drag and drop in the new pagetree. Drag and drop is easier and
faster than using the context menu. And as those operations are
available via drag and drop they don't have to clutter the first level
context menu (BTW I heard a lot of positive things about the cleaner
context menu, so this is - again - a matter of taste).

Cheers,

Susanne
