Maybe second-hand experience is the best we have to think about this change because no vocal split view user showed up in these discussions yet. Workflow example: I once had a lecturer (literally this guy <http://www.ma-weigand.didaktik.mathematik.uni-wuerzburg.de/weigand/images/weigand_juni_05.jpg>) who used a split view file manager (Total Commander or something, don't remember) fullscreen and keyboard-only as his primary means to interact with his notebook. He opened up presentations, pictures and GeoGebra-files to show them in the lecture. I think for such a use case having only one path visible at a time would probably be a big step down.

  That's a good point. I have periodically seen screenshots of people with vertical toolbars, and yeah, making it non-optional would make it suck a lot for them. Maybe we could make it non-optional, but when using a vertical toolbar, the URL bar could automatically move back to the top of the view?
