Unfortunately yes [1], a new group of shitheads with "better sense of taste" got into project and they know better than users what is more comfortable. There are dozens of requests on bugzilla [2] to bring the menu back to the toolbox, even separate project dedicated to make this menu visible again in the toolbar [3]. All this is rejected, even no option to make it work is being left. The old work and good habits are destroyed with no alternative. The only arguments of Martin Nordholts that I had talked with is that I "have no taste" because he knows no "another program that has two main menus" (*) and so "There is no arguing this, we won't add the menu back. Period.". I don't understand why they don't want to leave this menu in toolbox as user choice option. I only hope this kind of stuff never happens on FreeBSD project.
