I don't think its that bad to have each entry in one menu as long as they are

Gedit - Text Editor
We've already got that type of setup going on many menus, like gThumb Image
Viewer and Xpdf PDF Viewer, and both Firefox Web Browser and Epiphany Web Browser.
Either way works fine really and avoids submenus, I just agree with you Stewart
that the general naming is a bit out of hand when you end up with exact
duplicates and can't tell what is what until you try it.
We may indeed have to give up the generic naming that was very nice
while we had the luxury to define the menu layout for a single default
install. In the new multi-spin world order, we may have to accept the
"name - generic name" style, even if it break localization to a certain
degree.
For the general problem of menu overcrowding in everything or k+g
installations, I believe that only moving to a dynamic menu system like
bigboard will significantly improve the situation.

Why not have a this configurable? The .desktop file format supports
specification of name and generic name independently, why not let the
user decide what permutation of these is displayed? Then we can just
fight over the default :)
