Thanks for your suggestions and interest. Improvements are worthwhile, but
maybe a more comprehensive approach is preferable.

-  Naming issues
(a)  About comment 2.  "Open Template" will be "Edit Template" in 7.2 (see bug
138621, comment 8)

(b) Template Manager has multiple purposes (including setting a default
template, renaming and deleting templates, putting them in categories, moving
them between categories, etc.), so it is just as problematic to rename the
command to something that signals primarily "open a document based on a
template" -- because then it "hides" all the other management functions (see
next point).

- Position issue
Changing command position in the Template submenu might be appropriate if
nothing further was done in relation to templates. But maybe the UI should be
improved to (a) make it easier to use templates and (b) unnecessary to use
template manager (Ctrl+Shift+N) as the primary (only) way to open templates
(see bug 137906).

With that approach, the template manger would go back (become) primarily a
dialog to manage templates, and then its name and position would become less
important, in relation to opening new documents with templates.

My proposal: Given that the OP is focused on "improve the user-friendliness",
consider closing this ticket as a duplicate of bug 137906, as way to
indicate/register interest for improving ease of using/selecting templates when
opening new documents (and then "position" can be considered in light of other
planned UI changes).
