Not all the "others". I think your sarcasm is not smart and not relevant to the
discussion, I also think (and I wrote) that it *is* silly to consider
equivalent the VC menu and the Games and some other menus in the context of a
development text editor where version control is a core feature. I also
consider not useful the a posteriori exemples of "discoverability" that pop up
every time there is a question similar to the one I asked. Discoverability
should not be confused with exploration.
I do understand Eli's considerations about screen real estate though, even if I
think with Ted and Oscar that VC should be considered a special citizen of the
top menu. Now, if you have anything of interest to add to the discussion please
do, otherwise I don't see much point going on.
