I am personally not a fan because it seems to me that more often than not, they only enable a poor information architecture. I am sure they do fine in usability tests though, so I guess if your users are happy...and your client is happy...
Ikea's mega-menu is done well, I think in part because it is a value-add and not a clumsy attempt to make up for a sloppy or ineffective IA.

- well i think i like target's approach since i am working on a massive dropdown as well.. i prefer how all the categories are displayed rather than the contents stair casing out/stepping outpixellette
- are expanded and not staircasing out. it is easier to use and makes more sense for the target audience that i am designing forpixellette
- since they are impatient :)pixellette

I know that most people do not like Jakob Nielsen's design advice, but I am tasked with adding one of these menus to the retail site I manage.

What are the thoughts on these menus and do you have any really shitty or good examples of them?
