1. Create an empty folder on your desktop.
2. Name the folder "--------" (I used 22 em dashes).
3. Add it to Menu Browser via the "Folders in Menu" prefs.
4. Position it by dragging it to the desired location relative to the other menu items.
5. The folder will now appear in Menu Browser as an empty folder named "--------."
6. Now delete the folder from your desktop. (Yup...delete it!)
7. The empty folder named "--------" will no longer appear in Menu Browser, but its name ( "--------") will remain and serve as a menu dividing line.
8. Repeat for each menu dividing line you want to insert.

yes, you are right, it does a similar thing - thanks fore pointing me to them, I didn't know before about this "competition" :).
Menu Browser has a couple of additional features:
* more easily customizable list of folders that are shown in the menu (no need for symlinks in a special folder)
* "folder actions", which let you open a folder in finder/terminal/iterm/custom apple script
* hot key, which opens the menu whatever you are doing, allowing for a completely mouse-free navigation
And some more features are coming in the next version.
