This would lead to over-smart app, and I am in general against such 
app, because it tries hard to anticipate what is best for user and it 
is close to just randomly choosing (we don't know what are the user 
wishes).

It would be also an overkill with implementing it and explaining the 
internal logic.

Much simpler solution is putting (by user)
[       A toolbar     ] [ B toolbar ]
next to each other, where A toolbar has icons + text, and B has only 
icons.

Simple design, app follows strictly users wish, no "smart" code, even 
more capabilities.

Cheers,
