Hi

I don't see a reason to follow Delphi's menu layout either.

However other reasons I like the new order with Run as first item for. "Run"
is always used to run a project. The IDE takes care of compilation and
everything else.
It is the most intuitive order for a new user and that is what counts. The
"old" user always gets accustomed to menu order and other GUIs and soon
doesn't pay attention to it.

Was your comment mostly about the change I already did inside Run menu, or
about the proposed move to project menu?
It seems we are not moving anything now. Later with project group and such
new menu entries we can reconsider.
