agreed. I just noticed the older discussion about this in the newsgroups; I
would have commented there earlier had I seen it.
If this is going to be anything like a WYSIWYG editor, these tabs are going to
be used a lot; who wants to use the View menu? I don't understand why the edit
mode toolbar is off by default whereas, say, the sidebar is on by default (who
uses the sidebar in Composer more than they switch between views?)

FWIW, I'd go for it activated by default. I think it is something that would be
used much. Some users may never come across it otherwise.

Personally, I don't switch modes very often and I prefer to have the extra 2
lines for editing rather than being occupied by the toolbar.
Novices might be confused by the subtle differences in the modes. Advanced users
won't be. Advanced users know to (or are much more likely to find) turn on the
Toolbar in the View menu. Once the toolbar is shown, the the toolbar will remain
until the user turns it off.
Why is this considered to be a regression?

Quoting myself:
"In some cases UI elements that are only semi-useful or redundant are
turned on by default. In this case, however, a useful part of the UI is
off by default."

If the Edit Mode toolbar is being hidden by default to save ~2 lines worth of
space to type, then surely the sidebar needs to be hidden by default to save
much more space.
brade: It's a regression because the toolbar used to be on by default. That is,
this was "working" before, now it's not.
