I actually don't mind this at all. These days the norm seems to be to drop features just because it's more convenient. I think this hybrid approach is not bad at all: the new menu is more aesthetically pleasing and consistent from a UX perspective, and if you really need something that is not there yet you can always use the old menu.

For all its faults I think it's strange to criticize Microsoft for maintaining backwards compatibility.

It is a combination of a vertical and orizontal menu. Something like Edge with horizontal and vertical tabs in the same window

It changes its height dynamically by state of each shell extensions. how come it is consistent from a UX perspective.

The real problem is there's no setting to default to the classic menu, and you have to do regedit BS.

Isn’t the real problem that the new menu somehow can’t show the missing entries of the old one but with its new coat of paint? It’s all data, why can one of them not display the old data?
