As more features are added, it is no longer feasible to keep adding new blocks into the side menus. Proposed solutions:

Add an analysis tab for future analysis functions
Make side menu groups collapsable, and collapse all but the essential functionality by default
Move our category editing from the side menu, OR make category editing "swap out" the entire side menu

Reuse collapsable menu components from Morpheus
Hide least used sections initially (e.g. exports, graphical options)
Add menu tabs, as in morpheus? E.g. one tab for analysis, another for import/export, third for manupulation

A step towards solving this was taken in version 1.10 (#83) by introducing collapsible menu components.

For the future, it may be worth considering implementing menu tabs, too
