Reduce workbench clutter. Despite efforts to ensure UI scalability with a 
large bases of available tools, the Eclipse workbench still intimidates many 
users with overly long menus and wide toolbars. This problem is acute in large 
Eclipse-based products (e.g., IBM WebSphere Application Developer). The 
Platform should provide additional ways for controlling workbench clutter, 
such as further menu and toolbar customizability, distinguishing between 
novice and advanced functions, supporting different developer roles, and more 
specific object contributions for particular file types. [Platform UI, 
Platform Debug, JDT UI] [Theme: User experience]
