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.
