Might I ask how you use your journal? It is always helpful to have more than one perspective. I'm coming from an engineering student's perspective where I tend to draw several diagrams on each page or graph functions. When I am graphing or drawing I like to change color and thickness alot and thus this new menu bar is a handicap. I can not keep pace with the professor and make my notes look how I like.
On the ergonomic side, having the menus allows each item to have more screen space and a full text description of that item next to it. To a new user this would be great (it took me many hours playing with the journal to understand what every button did), but once you know what each icon is the full text is no longer required.
I guess it is time to put in a feature request to allow the top journal toolbar to be customized like they just did for the android toolbar.
