I'll say I'm less annoyed at that page since Ema Ajax-ified it, so at least now it acts sensibly.
Past that, the layout of the ACP needs a refresh ... I'm often bewildered at where to find things and when I finally do what I'm looking for I can kind of see why it was probably inserted there. To me some items are just not grouped sensibly at a top level, so for example if you go to adjust your security settings you will end up in several different areas, same for server settings, and so on
Maybe if every existing action was looked at and new groupings created a better UI could come out ... I'm just not sure where to start!

It's still a WIP but here's what I did. You can see that there are some duplicated items where I'm replacing the old one with a new one. It's all built from the menu code so it will always be in sync.

All of those take you to the main page for each area, each icon reflects the same as the menu item that you'd go to - if you want a submenu item, you'd have to use the menu, or go to the main page first.
For example, if you want Admin > Member Options > Profile Fields (which is where custom profile fields went), you'd have to either click on Member Options, or use the menu, as the first page of member options is more generic options.
