How did you get used to that? Emacs's Open File menu works like every
other GUI application I've ever used, popping up a file browser that
only allows you to select from existing files.

(define-key menu-bar-file-menu [open-file]
'(menu-item "Open File..." find-file
([24 6] . " (C-x C-f)")
:enable (menu-bar-non-minibuffer-window-p)
:help "Open a new or existing file, specified by name"))
(define-key menu-bar-file-menu [new-file] nil)
