Al,
Play coy if you must 
. It just seems that threads like this has at least one person who implies Adobe shouldn't have to cater to 'beginers'. As if your business needs are the only ones that matters. As for extensions, they are not all that great. Ajatix failed at first, and some plug ins are quite dated.
But to bring this whole thread back to its orgional point. All I wonder is why if DW is going to have a great set of jquery, why of all ones they wouldn't include would be menu? It just doesn't make sense.
