Excellent tool for menus with a deep hierarchy

I'm using this to let Primary/Secondary handle the top two levels of my menu tree (horizontal style, maybe with a drop-down as well?) while tertiary+ levels are displayed in a vertical outline-style sidebar block. MT hides the levels already displayed by the top navs, so you get the same effect as using separate section menus and block visibility while being able to maintain everything in a single tree.

If the visitor keeps digging down into the tree, MT will display only the immediate surrounding area appropriate for the context, while breadcrumbs bridge the missing intermediate levels, keeping the user oriented and the nav tree manageable.

Not that related, but I found Node Hierarchy useful in creating the content, as it can create a matching URL tree that matches your menu hierarchy, which also helps keep your visitors oriented as to where they are in your structure.
