The difference of Pharo (and it's UI!) was what lured me into it, not what

They are very good reasons for popup menus.

The work menu is not one of them

Popup menus should (mainly) be used to propose contextual options.

Now take a random menu in Pharo, and look for the items 

that applies only in the current context.

That�s also the reason why the menu are far too long.
