Offer a UI with a menu bar and toolbar buttons with text
Switching to meld 3.22 recently with my distribution upgrade, I was disheartened to find it has adopted the UI style of applications such as gedit, and more specifically:
- The menu bar is gone
- Much of the functionality is only accessible via the "hamburger" menubutton
- Button icons are monochrome, more abstract, and have no accompanying text
this makes interaction with the application less convenient, slower, and requiring more memorization.
Please consider undoing this switch, or at least offering both UI modes via some preference.
Note: Somewhat related to issue #714 (closed), as I assume these changes all happened together, but they're not the same issue, since I'm less concerned with whether the windows uses client-side decorations or not, but with the three points I brought up.
