Comment (by dionysous):

 I support the desired changes and find this topic very important because I
 think that the current link is inadequate and far too redudant.

 I'm interested in understanding how the new design here, particularly the
 ''View Profile'' link, is intended to appear.

 For example, on wordpress.org, navigation to your own profile is made
 enormously difficult by the fact that you have 3x ''Edit Profiles'' and 0x
 ''View Profiles'' links. The drop-down menu on wordpress.org, has been
 customized using a MU plugin, resulting in a different appearance.
 Therefore there is an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/WordPress/wporg-
 mu-plugins/issues/268#issuecomment-1938290193

 **PS:** As for the current design **suggestion** for wordpress.org, here's
 a visual representation:

 The added value here would be that users can distinguish their accounts by
 their unique user names, but also see their display names. The design
 would not be changed too much either.
