Would anyone else like to see V9 style menu as an option?

Now that I've been using X for several months, I'm finally getting used to the newer interface and finding plenty to like. I also think the customized right click is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

But... for me, I'm still convinced that a lot of geometry creation and editing, was faster in version 9.

For example, Xform Translate all entities from point to point is something I do frequently. I do have this added to my right click, but it's still a total of 8 clicks(let me know if theres a faster way). Now in version 9, there are actually 9 steps required, but 6 of these were keystrokes, and only 3 were clicks. The thing is though, I could do those 6 keystrokes in the same time it takes me to do the first 2 or 3 clicks in X.

I find this is the case for a lot of other ones also, like create circle point and diameter. The thing I miss most there is the default to the diameter input, since I'm alread at the keyboard. It takes me a lot more time it seems draging my mouse from button to field to button.

Another advantage I find with the older versions, is that I could sit down at anyones computer, and still be just as fast.

So I'm not saying X doesn't have it's advantages(it has a lot), but I would like to see the old style menu and keystrokes(not custom ones I have to go through and set up for each situation) as an option you could turn on. I however am no software engineer, so I don't realize the work involed in adding this feature, but if it were realisticly possible, I would love to see it.
