Menulibre regressions
So, that being said, if you have issues, bugs, suggestions and apparent gripes, I would strongly recommend you file reports either with your specific distribution who is responsible for packaging menulibre (i.e. not Xfce) or [open up an issue with Menulibre directly instead of bitching about it here.

App ideas for GNOME (GTK4) Vala?
You could take some inspiration from MenuLibre or Alacarte. It would be great to see a modern alternative that follows the GNOME Design Principles and uses GTK4+libadwaita.

[Mock-up] App Metadata Editor by Tobias Bernard
The mock-up is setting up Workbench as an example of app metadata editing. Ultimately this conceptual tool works like MenuLibre but for AppStream metadata XML files (those *.appdata.xml thingies) instead of XDG desktop files.

What is the best way to edit the categories in the application menu?
Using Pop!_OS 21.10, everything pretty much is left as default except I am using Dash to Panel and ArcMenu. I am currently using the "Plasma" menu layout option in ArcMenu which shows apps you've pinned and allows you to view apps organized by catergory. I'm unsure what the best way to organize each of the menu categories is, however. I have used MenuLibre in the past, but I get weird behavior on Pop!_OS. Here is an example - what is shown in the "Systems Tools" category does not match what I have set via MenuLibre:
