Not sure if I should count that as one more thing that makes me dislike Web Direct. I'm hopeful things will change in the 'cloud first' world. Right now, Web Direct has too many things that can come back at you and bite you the wrong way that I think of it as a 'if everything else fails' scenario more than an opportunity.
Another recent introduction we find invaluable that cuts down on the number of custom menus needed is the ‘Install When’ option within each menu item, which allows the calculation engine to control whether a Menu Item is available or not.
This has been a massive time saver and we never create a system without its own collection of custom menus.

"Zoom to Actual Size" might be a good Top 10...and a complement to the built in...
View > "Zoom In" and "Zoom Out"
...menu commands.

MENUS
All apps have a Go, Action and Dev menu. Go is for global scripts, and the Action menu -- similar to Andy's -- is dynamic depending on context.
The Dev menu is for me and contains my fav script -- toggle $$env variable. My scripts have conditions based on the environment variable. Most common
If [ $$env = "dev" ]
Perform Script…
Else
Perform Script on Server…
End If
I added the icon to the dev menu so I could quickly see the state.
