A problem with this proposal is that the evaluate button and the new command/text buttons put things in different places. If you have a cell that has output, then the evaluate button is between the cell and its output, and it changes the output. However, you probably don't want a new cell (command or text) to come between the cell and its output. For this reason, I don't like lumping these three things together in the same horizontal space.
