Some acceleration settings just don't feel right, but all the experience in my previous post was with acceleration on. Perhaps a linear mapping would help with menus which require linear movement, but I think overall it would be a net loss as you couldn't get longer-distance actions into anything like muscle memory. Acme would become a big problem then.
