I don't think this is a good idea:
1. "File" is the first menu item in basically all applications that 
exist out there, so this would be a big inconsistency (although - 
granted - an IDE is a bit of special software)
2. The tasks that are in the "File" menu are very different to the tasks 
in the "Project" menu, so it would be a very bad idea in my opinion to 
merge them.

Here I'd prefer the first solution. ;)
