If you want to keep living in the 80's with a text based menu, go ahead, I prefer a click solution. And I see no reason why a click solution is "always" inefficient. That depends on the programmer making the interface. I'm a desktop user.

I prefer to live in 2012 and use the technical means of nowadays. No flames intended, just my opinion (which has nothing to do with the original question, I know). Beni.
