Expected results:

In the Developertools we have the option to hide most tools: Shader Editor, Profile, Network.....
Why not add an option to hide the others? As in: Debugger, Style Editor, Inspector and Console.
I guess I understand excluding the Inspector and Console.
But why can't I hide the other two?

Is there a reason for this? If not can't an option be added to hide these two.
When Putting the devtools on the right each tab uses space.

IIRC the reason we left the debugger and style editor always on was that they are used from the web console. Every time you try to click on a link to a CSS or JS file in displayed messages the console will open the file in the style editor or debugger accordingly.

Yes, that is correct - see Bug 938172.  The tools that are always visible are considered core tools (providing minimum expected functionality) and other tools rely on them being there to fully function.  Other connection points besides the ones Panos listed:

1) If you click on an event handler from the Inspector it will navigate you to the Debugger.
2) If you click on a CSS link from the rule view in the inspector it will navigate you to the style editor.
