Have you taken the WordPress 2.7 navigation survey? If so, let's talk about our opinions and what you submitted. If you haven't, go do it now! http://wordpress.org/development/2008/09/wordpress-27-navigation-options-survey/
Personally, I would like to see a top navigation with drop-down boxes. And a naming scheme similar to this: Content, Layout, Settings, Utilities. Simple, intuitive, clean.
No one else took the survey?
Were they required to report here to you if they did? :)
With that kind of response, I wonder why we continue to use and support WP. It's hardly a community driven response, is it?
Gez, yeah, seriously. I just wanted to hear other people's thoughts.

Too late for me. Haven't check in here recently, but wish I'd had a chance to take the survey, because there are a lot of (simple, obvious) usability improvements to the admin panel that could be made (including restoring some of the usability that was bizarrely jettisoned with the 2.5 redesign)
I answered the survey. I added lighter admin menus plugin in all installs and all users even newbies are comfortable with it. So aside from the kudos I gave to developers, I also made a simple request that they enable moving main navigation from left column to top :-)
I took the survey but added plenty of notes about how pointless it was.
Getting users input is great, but asking them to basically comment on what a label is called and where it should go isn't really very constructive and is hardly a top priority for input.
I'd rather see questionnaires that address the more fundamental problems with WordPress, as StrangeAttractor noted above.
