Choose between "Edit" and "Edit source" is very confusing for a beginner 

A solution would be to move the "edit source" button to action menu (the one dropdown, where is the button "move")

Relevant issues have been previously discussed at length on bug 49666, bug 50540, bug 50688 and probably a few other bugs. So please tread carefully. :)

Tempted to WONTFIX this request exactly for the looooong and heated discussions linked to from comment 2 and in Village Pumps. Would love to see some examples for "very confusing for a beginner" statement too.
