The difference of Pharo (and it's UI!) was what lured me into it, not what constituted a barrier :) And while i would also make a case for difference only for it's own sake, i think there are very good reasons for the pop-up menus.
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.
