We should keep the buttons and let the user choose whether he wants to use the tool bar, the menu bar or both, by changing the configuration. By default we put table features in the menu. But in some cases we'll have to drop the menu and use only the tool bar with a few features in order to have a compact editor. In this case the user might want to have the insert table button on the tool bar.
