Anyway, I just wanted to add that the way I do this is through the SHIFT-CTRL-EJECT shortcut. Much easier!

As far back as Mac OS7. It all comes down to what helps the work flow of the person who has to use the computer. This also opens up gestures to perform other functions. But still, for those of us without touch-pads, or who use both, hot-corners makes more sense. And when I want the Menu, which is rare, i just move the cursor to the Apple; and the tangent of going to the corner accidentally is easily fixed by going back to the same corner. Though I do know what you mean, I use them, and every time someone who doesn't uses my computer normally tries to they end up someplace the don't mean to be.

It's so annoying when you work as a system administrator at a company which has a few hundred Macs and everyone has set their own Active Screen Corners preferences. When I want to click on the Apple logo on those Macs, I just move the cursor to the top left side of the screen, but on every Mac something else happens. Some people configures their Mac to open Dashboard, other people have it configured to open Mission Control, others use this corner to start the screen saver. It's so annoying. I just want to click the Apple logo, but it's impossible to predict what's going to happen when moving the cursor to a corner of the screen. I know, if Dashboard or Mission Control or a screen saver starts, it means I've moved the cursor too far to the corner, but I don't use Active Screen Corners myself (why should I if I can use gestures?), so I'm used to just quickly moving my cursor to the cursor of the screen.

It was the closest I could get to 'gestures' before gestures, and I can do it with my mouse. Which works great when i'm in OSX on the desktop where I have yet to buy a track-pad, but like one handed control.
