What do people think of eliminating the [Reports](https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Reports#Reports) and [Tools](https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Tools#Tools) menus by using just the toolbar-launched dialogs instead?

These dialog already provide more information than the menus. And there are a number of future enhancement on the roadmap:

- Help buttons
- thumbnail for reports
- Search
