I haven't suggested that they be more prominent, just that they be in a different location (Help|Studio|Labs vs Tools|Studio|Labs).
Having said that I do think that the location should be similar between JHS and Gtk. Apart from anything else it makes it much easier to write instructions in labs that work for both environments. Many of the labs start by noting that you should use Studio|Advance to move to the next topic. That is currently correct for JHS, but not for Gtk IDE. Of course the problem is not insurmountable, just needlessly cumbersome IMO. It requires more effort for new users learning J, forum members explaining how to run labs, lab authors explaining how to use labs ... If there is a good reason for the menu location for Labs being different between the two IDEs then that would be one thing, currently though I can't think of one.
