Speaking as a user, I just can't see why anyone would want to remove the menus from the menu bar and put them in the tool bar. From my point of view this change contributes nothing, and makes the interface considerably worse. Now the keyboard shortcuts for openning menus don't work and things are harder to find because of the lack of text and organisation. Everything has been crammed into just two unlabelled menus. Again, just my opinion as a user..
You get more space for the document and less for the application. The menu bookmarks was redundant and easier to access from the side pane (F9). There are 2 button menus in the toolbar. General (gear icon) and Document (wrench icon). The Document is a merge of the previous Edit and View, with the removal of Copy/Paste/Select were removed (still available via shortcuts and contextual menu). You can get access to the toolbar using Ctrl-Tab/Ctrl-Shift-Tab. Also, using F10 you get access to the Gear menu. With F1 you open the help that explains how to use Evince. The accelerator (shortcuts) for all operations are still there. Not having a shortcut for the wrench menu is a limitation that should be addressed sooner than later. The unlabeled buttons (lack of tooltips) in the toolbar correspond to a a bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700697 Don't forget the project is run exclusively by volunteers in their spare time. Although some bugs looks straightforward to apply still might take some time. Certainly, more man power is always welcomed. -- Germán Poo-Caamaño http://calcifer.org/
