By shortcut menus, do you mean the F1, F2 things?  (Alpha, then one of the top menu buttons?)
Because in CLASSIC, only one of them is disabled, which is the matrix one.
Yes, I do. Are you saying that the stuff inside the menus actually work in classic mode? I'm pretty sure it didn't but I might be wrong.
Unpretty Integrals
This program gives you a graphical representation of the "fnint(" function, which allows you to calculate definite integrals. It is extremely similar to the functionality MathPrint provides, minus the extreme bloat that slows your calculator down to a crawl.

I know I myself got the pop up asking me if I wanted to enable them when I turned my calc ON again after disabling MATHPRINT. I disabled those menus, personally, though.

It all works, except for the matrix one (since math print is disabled you can't pretty-print enter matrices on the home screen)

I took the effort of reïnstalling it. You're right... Kinda.
Those shortcut menu's are clearly intended to be used in conjunction with mathprint imo.
seeing as "n/d" gives me a "/" symbol in classic mode. And all the functions in "FUNC" get a prettied up representation with mathprint enabled.
You probably wouldn't have noticed that if they weren't located in that menu. It's also the only reason to use mathprint imo.

I probably should've explained myself better. The only reason I'd upgrade to OS 2.53 is to use those visual representations of functions like "fnint(" which happen to be located in those shortcut menus.
I couldn't care less about the actual shortcuts themselves.

I guess you can use those menus "just" as shortcuts in classic mode. My critique would be that it's extremely redundant since everything in FUNC is also located in MATH and require the same amount of key presses to get to.

For some reasons, I believe they did this to lure TI-85/86 and Casio calc users. Those calcs only have such menus, no menu like on OS 2.43. Having both type of menus at once may accomodate Casio users while still letting people who had a 84+ for a while use the old 83+ style menus.

yeah, but, did they have to be so sloppy in making the OS

instead of wasting time with fighting ndless and giving out DMCA orders, they should have tried to make a competent OS

Yeah I agree on that. The OS slow speed in mathprint mode is not justified considering the TI-73 does it much faster (and runs on a 6 MHz processor)

So should I put BrandonW's 2.53MP OS patch or 2.43 OS on my new TI-84 Plus SE calc? :-\

Yeah, even with the patch, 2.53 MP is still horribly unstable. I'd say stick with 2.43.

I would go with 2.43, in case 2.53 MP has more bugs that went unfixed by BrandonW's patch.
