I'd like to be able to show the number of posts in a category on the menus. I've seen hacks for this in searches but all the solutions I've seen would be overwritten in an update of WP core. Not a good solution in my humble opinion. I'd like to be able to use the WP build in menu features and have custom menus for selected categories so many hacks wouldn't work anyway. I've come here for the right solution as I've pulled enough of my limited hair out.
Example:
Category (6) ..Subcat (3)
..Subcat (2)
..Subcat (1)

Picturesque Internet MarketingSo you probably know about the Category dropdown menu widget that you can use, right? That has an option to include the post count per category.
To your real question: Unfortunately, as you've discovered already, it looks like putting the post count in a custom menu is pretty advanced. You definitely don't need to modify WP core to do it but you do have to get your hands dirty with some code. This code from StackExchange looks like it would be a good start, if you're up for such a project: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/18495/taxonomy-menu-with-post-count-and-multiple-parents
