I also own a ICOM IC-7000, nice radio but too complicated.
My neighbor has one in his pickup. I tried using it and found that I had 
to go to menus to do simple things that were operational. I also had an 
FT100D. Same problem.
To me, menus are fine if you only use them for setups -- which filters 
are installed, is the mic plugged in the front or the back, does it need 
bias, stuff like that.  The FT1000MP was like that, and it was a good 
rig to operate. Ditto for the K3 and KX3. I had an IC746 that I used on 
6M and 2M when I lived in Chicago. Most of what you need to operate is 
on knobs and switches, but there's still a lot of stuff that requires 
menus, and those functions were a PITA. Likewise for a lot of VHF FM rigs.
