I have come to dislike all manner of menu based interfaces. They are annoying as fuck unless you are well used to the program, and then they keep changing them with different versions. What I would like is a search as you type entry field, similar to the Windows 7 start menu. I type in "cro..." and cross reference shows up, then I click on it. And it'd have the option of keeping the commonly used ones nearby for easy click. I havent used any apps that do this, but would love to see something like this.

The Mac OS X Help menu has this type of search, provided that all application commands are in menus.

Use command-shift-/ (shortcut to help search) in OS X to find any menu items. It is nearly instantaneous.
If Windows doesn't have the same thing already built in, I'd guess there must be some add-ons that do the same thing.
