I can only repeat myself: "Shortly, whatever can be shown or hidden is in View, whatever can be edited is in Edit or Insert."
I would say: - whatever is related to editing at cursor position is in edit - whatever is related to the whole document is in Document - whatever is related to showing/hiding interface elements is in View.
For example, in the current menus, I can insert a TOC from Insert->..., but an appendix from Document->...
We have an UI problem with appendix, anyway. And we are supposed to add (front/back)matter one day.
I can show the source and message panes from View->..., but the TOC pane stays in Document->...
Probably some should move, but I am not sure where.
I can't see (user's viewpoint) why messages log stays in View->..., but latex log stays in Document->...
Message logs are related to the app, latex log related to the document.
Enabling change tracking is something related to Edit-ing, but I find it in Document->... (i.e., LibreOffice has it in Edit->...)
And ms office has it somewhere else.
I just tried to fix (a bit of) such weirdness, well aware that changing the GUI including menus is especially a pain for whoever is already used to them.
What would be interesting is to find the thorough explanation that John Levon wrote when introducing these new menus. He has lots of arguments (John was pretty serious about usability issues).
