To me it looks like an effective way to avoid RSI... The alternative (for Ardour) would be to recode some of the menus as dialogs. In RiscOS you could use a dialog box as a submenu as well - it would just open at the right place and if you didn't click in it go away when moving out, in the same way as a submenu would. So with one click and few gestures you could have access to any number of dialogs. Very productive.
