It was only this year that Gnome got a way to edit the main menu without a text editor.
He said "any small change". Last I looked I can create menubars, add applets, change themes, change window behavior, etc all without using gconf. One can easily argue that those are "small changes" and thus invalidate his argument utterly. Furthermore, they call into question his motives in stating something that's so obviously untrue.
In regards to your statement, even if somehow modifying the menu was the end-all-be-all of UI configuration, the fact that it exists now means that your counter argument is nothing more than a straw man. We're speaking about the present. If we go far back enough in time, I think you'll find that all UIs had difficulties in modification sans special tools or knowledge...
