Daniel asked me to respond to this issue as lead developer for Bluefish.

The reason for this user interface design choice is that the text area
is the most important area for bluefish. Since bluefish has multiple
toolbars, tabs etc. these all reduce the size available for the text
area. Using both text and icons makes this even worse. Even users that
use both icons and text in general programs often prefer to have icons
only within bluefish. I know several of them.

If there is user-demand to have also the text in the toolbars I would
accept a patch to support that. However, since most users prefer to have
the text area as large as possible this should become configurable and
disabled by default. I would suggest to continue this discussion on one
of the Bluefish mailinglists because on the list there are more Bluefish
users that can express their opinions regarding this matter.
