It's been moved in menu-land.
I'd say at least 80% of terminal uses by non-tech users is to avoid
dealing with menu-land shifting sands, its continual icon remapping and
menu entry renaming.

If I need evo I know I can open a term and type evolution. This had been
true for several years. Can you say the same about evo gui access ?

It's all well and good to worry about the average user but I'm ready to
bet you anything any given average user study will find the average user
cares more about finding his stuff the same way in the same place than
about the "gui-correctness" of the access method. You can verify it any
day by taking over a windows user desktop and reordering the menu and
root window. Users don't care if it's a mess as long as it's the mess
they're used to.
