The bookmarks menu, like I've done for years.

I have a somewhat poor memory and several hundred bookmarks. Setting keywords
for them all.. well remembering them all isn't going to happen. :( I keep them
nice and sorted, and visit several sites on a daily basis. What has happened
to me in the past, (when I've broken galeon one way or another, and resort to
mozilla) is I just don't remember the sites I need/like to visit.

For me, it's just easier to pull down through a menu and get visual reminders
of interesting sites. It's easier to see what's there than to try and remember
a keyword.. Perhaps 8+ years of a bookmarks menu system has been burned into
my brain.

> What is unintuitive in the dialog btw ?

What I meant by this was my initial reaction to having to open a dialog to
find my bookmarks. As you can see in the thread, I had to be pointed to some
article to understand how the current keyword system works.

Unfortunatly, no bookmarks menu means I probably won't use epiphany. I don't
hate the idea, I just don't feel it works or will be faster/easier.

Of course I may be an isolated case...
