  Or simply use it for additional things and let the content decide where and when it shows.

  Not the good ones, no. I was referring to the toolbars proliferation in their word processor, probably a few versions back now.
  
  In terms of customisable interfaces for this kind of application I often take Opera as an example, from before they added themes. There were lots of good ideas allowing to cook up a very slick, minimalist interface that still had all the controls you could need, possibly visible only when you needed them. That included rather complete control over the things shown in the various tool- and statusbars. FWIW they used Qt at the time if I'm not mistaken, at least on Linux.
