A very important point in my opinion. Our visual memory is very important and I believe the organisation in menus help us store the information in places close to our visual memory. (Just a guess at the moment, can't remember anything that in a more hard way support that right now.)Another consideration is learning. Because a menu structure is ~fixed, repeated use of the menu to access commands helps you learn the menu organization: which commands are associated with which other commands in the same part of the tree. This forms a useful conceptual model for finding new, related info: you know what the tree looks like, so you have an idea where to look.
