Since a menu is a tool to get the user up and running quickly, you should follow the standard.
Is that a hysteric-maker or true?
Can you expand how you understand the question? Autodesk is a company earning a lot of money with proprietary software. Of course they would say and claim that structure, organisation and software code of this software are valuable to them. Software-Patents, copyright and trade mark laws in the various countries of the world might allow them to actually protect this proprietary knowledge.
With most graphical user interface elements you should actually follow what the majority of users expects, from the usuability point of view.
Both does not seem to be news ...
