I think we should keep the layer/new just to keep it consistent. There are
even more option than in the layerbox.
I would keep remove and properties too for completeness. Hide/show should
go.

I agree that raise, lower, top, bottom waste much space there, we could move
them to a seperate submenu (or remove).
Same for scale, mirror, rotate and shear. These would fit into a
Transformation submenu.

Flatten image should be in image, I think.

The mask menu should be merged into the layer menu. The problem I see is
that are mask are not really layers and the differentiation would be
weakened.
