Like Pavel, I find the Insert menu too long. Maybe, everything that relates
to the life cycle of the document (annotations, branches) could go into

Do you mean: moving "Insert->Branch" to document ? AFAIU, it's really a
local edit, so it should stay in Insert.
What about "Version Control" operations ? They probably affect the whole
document, so move them to Document ? However, it's quite common to find
that stuff under "File".
What about "File->New Window" / Close Window ? These 2 just seem to me
they belong to the View menu ?
And, conceputally speaking, perhaps Insert->Graphics... should be
grouped with Insert->File->... sub-menu (think of
Insert->File->ExternalMaterial). Again, inserting figures is very very
common, and I guess there's a nice button readily available on the
toolbar. If you're about to complain about using keyboard to reach the
menu entry without using the mouse, I can anticipate that Ctrl+G, on my
Ubuntu, produces a "telephone" character -- why ? why doesn't it
activate Insert->Graphics ?
Of course, everyone opinion is very welcome..... UI is so subjective....
