There are significant good uses for multi-level menus (as evidenced by the number of times they occur on good client side apps, and how many times they were implemented using DHTML for webapps). So we shouldn't deny that the need is out there... As such, I think the "bad UI" argument doesn't hold water - the choice of using this feature properly should be up to the developer.
