Is there something it does that's better than M-x grep? I'm asking honestly, not to be snarky.
And either way, it's not that menu items are bad... it's just, well, I've been using Emacs for ~20 years now. Across god knows how many different platforms, installations, and technology tool chains. How many times have you re-found that menu item? And how does their menu item differ from the one in (TextMate|VisualStudio|XCode|Eclipse|...).
If BBedit is the only editor you've ever used or will use, great. But honestly, I don't want to find move next paragraph, spell check region, or reindent block ever again. They may be in the editor, in some menu somewhere. It may even be similar to the place I found it last time...
