Warren,
Heres my 2 cents

The toolbar has goto, refresh, home and show source. The view menu
has find, home,

all, show source, show symbols and prefs. When you go

I personally find the toolbar very intuitive and I
dont think it should be changed.
The toolbar *menu* is kind of hidden and not a lot of users will use
it. Most of the actions in this menu are a duplicate of the toolbar
actions, which provide a text-based description of the actions (similar
to action tooltips). The Find operation will very likely be
accessed via the global Ctrl+F keyboard shortcut, which is why it wasnt
included in the toolbar. I think preferences should also be in
the toolbar *menu*.
I dont see anything wrong with the context menu either.
I personally don't think actions should be duplicated in a view's toolbar
and menu. An action should be in one or the other. Hovering provides a
text based description of toolbar actions.
I believe there is some general criteria for what sort of actions belong
in a view's toolbar vs menu, but I don't know them off hand. I think the
disassembly view should stick to the guidelines, and I'm pretty sure
that's not the case now.
