To be honest the change, for me, makes it all a bit easier as polygon modeling has so many tools nont that it warrents a new menu all to its own, otherwiese it would end up being a right pain having to access all the tools using just a couple of menu's thats got Nurbs along side too.

Took me a bit to get used to it but I just read through the whats new and used the help files when I was stuck.
