Well, there is the Edit toolbar, which I set in the Options Inspector to 
be always on, but there isn't a lot on it, and I don't use it as much as 
I used to, now that we have context menus. It would be nice to have a
customizable toolbar where one could put buttons for Abort Evaluation,
Delete All Output, Evaluate Notebook and the like.
