they are available in the menu, but much harder to reach.

i've actually never heard of that rule before this thread and i don't think 
that's feasible. what about extra toolbars like table handling in kword?

also, shortcuts need to be remembered. you can't expect people to remember all 
toolbar action shortcuts in all applications just to be able to navigate 
quickly.
