Apparently, kickoff was designed after several usability tests. Sometimes
usability turns out to be counterintuitive but its hard to satisfy all.
However, i have read about alternate approaches being considered for kde4
including the use of the breadcrumbs widget in the menu.
Personaly, i rarely use the menu the few that i use are in the favourites menu
(interestingly konsole was'nt there!) but i mostly use the run dialog these
days.
