Hmm, I prefer the Dolphin one for the following reasons:
1. Having the the "open with" item near the top makes sense because it's
likely the most commonly used item
2. Having the "open" items grouped together makes sense, since they're both
similar actions, and all other platforms I'm familiar with have their context
menu's "open" items on the top too
3. The greater use of separators is an asset, not a drawback: separators
provide structure and help the mind distinguish between logical groups. In
particular having cut/copy/paste separated from other items makes sense.
4. The current FV menu has bugs:
1. The top item is Open, but it uses an inappropriate icon and is
duplicated by another superior Open with [app name] item buried in the middle
of the context menu.
2. It doesn't show the Paste item unless there's something to paste. This
is a HIG violation; we don't recommend modifying the visibility of inapplicable
menu items; instead they should be disabled.
3. The Properties item doesn't have a keyboard shortcut
But if you're not convinced, perhaps we could ask #VDG
