Menus seems to be the main command interface in GUI applications. In KDE all 
menus can be used without mouse. And most commands in menus can be assigned 
shortcuts. Personally i find toolbars much more in the way than menus, since 
they takes up much more place and really are unreachable unless one use the 
mouse.
