No good reason to be excited about the old garbage UI returning after the new garbage had been trashed.

> Use an icon to highlight the most common actions and key features of your app

Saving a document is the one of the most common actions in your average app, but I * never* need an icon there in the menu, there is no benefit in focusing my attention on an action I always do with a shortcut!

The perfect advice would be easy and powerful user customization, so that, for example, I could right click on the app's File>Save menu and select an option to hide the icon, reformat the rich text field and have this change propagate in all the other apps. Or click on a web link from someone who has already done it better and add the theme. Then I wouldn't even care about the back and forth design changes between major OS releases.

And that could also fix another sin in the screenshot - the text is not vertically aligned! "visual consistency" misunderstood
