Me too, because it's a single click for frequently-used features.

is, between a toolbar for the frequently-used stuff, and the menus for
everything, listed as logically as possible? 

Or, to put it another way, if the frequently-used features are already
readily accessible from the toolbar, and if the toolbar is preferred by
most users anyway, what benefit is there if a compact menu doubles these
same features and at the same time makes it more difficult to get to the
lesser-used ones?

Maybe there is a good answer, but I think it's worth asking.
