The big problem is with the organization of markets on the Trade page. But svk is in the process of making some very exciting changes. I'm looking forward to that!
Merging option might not be the best way to solve it, but I think people like to act from the perspective of a single, concrete user, and the allocentric logical perspective breaks with this. For instance, most people won't have more than one account, which makes the dashboards "home" location confusing. As I see it better to have a drop down menu for switching accounts, and a "see all" option than to have a dedicated overview page of all the accounts and recent activity.
If you have only one account, it doesn't say "Dasboard", it says "Account". Actually, I think this is where we could make an improvement. Perhaps instead of "Account", it should say "My Account" (or "My Accounts" if they have more than one account). That would be easy enough.
@svk: what do you think about this?
Also, I agree that it would make sense to have a dropdown to switch between accounts if you have more than one. I also agree that we should be able to see the activity of each account individually, or all combined, as you described. Obviously this would take a little more work and although I think it's important, I think getting the Trade page right is of paramount importance because we need to jumpstart the DEX ASAP.
Also, it's really not a problem to have 4 main menu items. Navigation is easy enough.
I don't care about pushing through any particular changes, but I do think we should be very careful with how many buttons and options we present the users with when they first enter the page. Marketing research shows even font color much less an extra button or field can drop conversions by tens of percent. The ratios of people dropping at the first 30 seconds of using the wallet at this stage is far more significant than the gains we get from new features.
I know what you're saying, although since this is more of a reference wallet to showcase all functionality, I am personally less concerned about this than I might be otherwise. Besides, I really do think a main menu with the following 4 choices is almost as simple as it gets:
