You can either add those ideas to the survey. Or we ask another question like
"Do you want to have controls at only one position. either toolbar or sidebar?" ( ) No, I want to have the freedom to use both ( ) Yes, please clean up the interface However, I think this would violate usability. Redundancy in terms of alternative interactions is good. Your argument could be that redundancy means to have the opportunity to start from main menu. context menu, toolbar or per keyboard. And toolbar vs sidebar are badly redundant since it doesn't add an alternative way to control the application.
