I will be surprised if there is no zillions of people with different 
workflows, we can't add buttons in the toolbar to make them all happy, would 
mean ending up with 100 buttons there, and then everyone would be unhappy.

Sincerely unless backed up with more data (that at the moment we don't have a 
way to get) I don't see us changing the UI in this direction.

Cheers,
