To make the admin menu less intimidating and make WordPress look more like a mainstream CMS, there is something very easy that could (should?) be done --> moving the whole blog feature (i.e. posts by default) into an extension that would be installed on WP but not activated by default. We would then have a very clean menu with: “Pages”, “Medias” (“Comments” <-- could be made optional too). This would also solve a big problem, which is understating the difference between pages and posts for many users who will NEVER need and use the "Posts" feature. A “Blog” (or "Posts") menu would be added only for THOSE who need a blog/dynamic posts section on their site (by activating the plugin, like they actually have to activate a “forum” plugin if they want a forum, a “wiki” plugin if they want a wiki, or anything else that they want to be included within their pages (which are esentially the base of any kind of website – a site is made of (web) pages). Sorry for my limited English.
