What I was trying to say is that many applications have a "File" menu at
the first position. As QGIS is not really following that scheme (because
the menu is named "Project" and I totally agree with not having it
renamed to "File") I support your idea of the QGIS menu.

File was renamed to Project for a few reasons, mainly for better context
awareness and external non file based projects. No plans to change that
as I think that works well.

Hi Nathan,
I think the original idea was to have something like a "File" menu, that
many applications have, too. Although it is not named "File". Anyway
IMHO it is a good idea, because many users get general and project's
settings mixed up and I would not favor renaming "Project" to "File"
either.
Going into detail: shouldn't "Project Properties..." go into the
"Project" menu then (and be renamed to "Properties")?
"Snapping Options..." are currently placed in settings, but are a
project's setting. Should go in the "Project" menu then, too.
