I like the idea of grouping "add layer" icons.
Do you remember concept of two general interfaces from hackfest?
1. Normal GUI - for beginners.
2. Advanced GUI - for advanced users (shortcuts), notebooks.
This can be first step. Second could be user customization of advanced GUI.

I agree and disagree. I think we should enable users to customize the
menus as they see fit. If that means offering a collapsed option for
space saving that would be nice, but sometimes you want some very
specific actions.
If we could offer a premade switch from current normal to "optimized for
space", that would be really neat. I wouldn't want to hide important
things from new users though. This might also make netbook and smaller
screen use better.
As for the refresh button, I do use it occasionally, but can't remember
exactly the context. While it would be nice to think we can get all the
render bugs out, there is always a chance of one and a refresh button is
a good way out.
Thanks,

Adding layers is something you don't do very often, while navigation is
something you do frequently/always. The only button I never use in the
navigation toolbar is the "Refresh" button. I don't know why this
buttons exists. If you have to refresh than it is a bug that should be
fixed. Otherwise this buttons makes no sense.
Talking about reorganizing buttons: wouldn't the two "bookmark
(show/new)" buttons better belong to the map navigation toolbar than to
the "Attributes" toolbar?

Hi all
I want to discuss one question about QGIS GUI. There are several
toolbars with buttons in QGIS, some buttons have similar appointment.
For example there are five buttons for adding layers and all this buttons
needs space on toolbar.
What do you think about replacing this buttons (and similar) with one
button with dropdown menu [1] as we already see in Select, Measure
and Annotation tools? This will save some extra space on toolbar.
I think this can be done for add layer buttons in QGIS and export map
buttons in Composer. Also may be for zoom buttons in QGIS
