Yes, I find it to be the best after the NeXTstep interface.

On the general point about context menus - I'm of the school that 
thinks they are ok as a secondary mechanism for doing things,
but a good gui design should have everything that needs doing in a 
clearer and more visible form than they allow.

I'm strongly opposed to them being used as anything other than a 
secondary interface, and have some sympathy (though not complete
agreement) with the idea that their existence in the API leads to 
inferior application guis, as programmers tend to take the lazy option 
of putting control in a context menu.
