Excuse me, are you paying for this software? I didn't think so.
If you have patches or can otherwise help, then join the development
effort. Don't just upset developers by saying things they are working
hard on in their spare time "suck".
It's not like there are free specs on this stuff (menus, ifo, subtitles,
etc). I'm _amazed_ at how far dent and others have gotten with the info
they have. Maybe "users" don't realize how much work has gone into what
we have now...
If you want menu support quicker, hire dent to do it.
