With GIMP from Git master I can make toolbox one column wide, whereas toolbox menu enforces (lovely word, I'm gonna use it from now on) width of toolbox of at least three columns, and that already means not seeing Help menu item. That alone is a great reason to kill the toolbox menu, and there are more reasons to do it. > 3.

There's a lot of "I" in your mail, but please understand that judgments of one person are not enough. Changes always mean that somebody is going to be pissed off. Providing backwards compatibility for behavior in an application means that this application becomes a horrible mess, as a rule with no exceptions. Most of your points are raised because the toolbox menu was your kind of central point of access to features. This is no longer true in the new design and (arguably) cannot stay true. Until optional single-window mode is finished (2.8, hopefully), my recommendation to you would be to hold your judgments. What you are seeing in 2.6 is an in-between state, a milestone. In other words, things are changing. You might actually like the final result. Be patient.
