Description
Currently the user is confronted with a wide variety of buttons and menus to load a layer. I think the user experience would be better, and interface less cluttered, if only one "Load layer" button was present, then choosing the type (raster/vector, grass/ogr/postgis ecc.) in a dialog.

Yes thats my dream too :-) However its not going to happen in 1.x and I'm moving this over to 2.0.0 milestone as achieving this should be part of a larger architectural overhaul...
Changing priority to minor as it is and enhancement request rather than broken feature.

Well cleaning the tracker, this one is fun as work was announced yesterday in Essen, 9 years after the idea :) See [[https://twitter.com/underdarkGIS/status/858779482945179652]].
Who must be the assignee here?

I think that the "Open Data Source Manager" button in the new "Data source manager toolbar" of QGIS 3.0 solves this issue.
Tested with QGIS 3.1.0-Master.
