If you really mean "Why not keep the toolbar?":
The two (menubar and toolbar) merge together very nicely once I created a
Menubars class to hold the map of all menubars. And I've invested a lot of
time and effort into making the resulting class more transparent and easy to
follow. And more type-safe, I might add.
I hope you mean "Why not keep the combox?", which is starting to make sense
to me.
