I just want to give a humble data point.
I never use submenus on the text editor menu.
I user do/debug/print/explore/inspect it.
Sometime button for it, seldom styling.
I would greatly regret not having them on the toplevel.
One submenu for do-it is one too much for me…
I'm not arguing against simplification, I do think however that some items need to be toplevel
Best regards
