I think that 'vi .config' and menuconfig get the most use. I use xconfig occasionally, and have never used gconfig.

Yes, we could use more consistency there. I find that sometimes it's easier to click on a different mehu item completely than to up-level (backtrack) on a menu.

I certainly like that suggestion.
