- the items that now hide inside the MM are the icons (or what used
to be icons in the panel/systray).

No, that is not true. The entries are in the menu all the time. It's
just the window that's being hidden. It doesn't have anything to do
with the indicator.
- users used to spot these icons quickly

Read Microsofts description of why that was a horrible idea and why
they've wanted to get rid of it for more than a decade. In short,
that system was completely incomprehensible because all apps would
work in completely different ways. Some would use left-click, others
would use right click. Some would use double-click and still some
would use middle-click. They also didn't symbolize things in a similar
way, so you would have to understand every single icon separately.
You've completely drifted off course here, if your point was to make
Unity easier to understand and learn.
It is very difficult for me to understand why you would force people
to use Unity if they want a similar environment to Windows 95. Use
Lxpanel instead. Actually, we have panels that make Ubuntu look
exactly like Windows. It is an extremely bad idea to have as a main
objective that Ubuntu should be automatically useable as long as
you're accustomed to Windows.
Right. They're not used to it, and that seems to be your entire case.
But it is not a valid argument. People used to say that about
movies too, before you got sound. «Nobody will ever want to hear an
actor speak», they said. «People aren't used to it.» That was also
used as an argument against the use of telephone. People were used to
sending telegrams, so adding telephone would be a bad idea.
People were once used to entering commands, and the thought of using a
mouse was difficult to understand. If your type of argument would win,
we would still be entering commands for everything. You just can't let
peoples habits get in the way of progress, because then there will be
no progress.
