It is far and away my least favourite thing about Gnome (and, therefore, about Ubuntu). It has pretty much the worst usability of any Gnome program I've ever used, frequently fails to work properly, and makes the most awful mess of crap in the configuration files (which I have to go and hand-edit when it screws something up). Part of the problem is Alacarte itself, and part of the problem is the freedesktop.org menu specifications and standards. But it adds up to a real p.i.t.a. Alacarte (aka Menu Editor) really sucks.

I've had all sorts of problems. Erratic behavior when trying to turn menu options on or off. Menu options disappearing. Very disheartening. Google "menu editor problems" and you'll see I'm not the only one. I wish I had left the original menus alone. Very disappointing.
