Or just making it possible to suppress this toolbar, e.g. using the context menu in the window. The toolbar buttons don't add anything you can't do with the context menu. I find that I almost always use this window indirectly using the F12 key and just glance at it. On a small laptop display, the toolbar wastes a considerable portion of the Suggestions window's space. Also the position of the toolbar is not persisted across sessions.
Dusan pushes toolbar concept a lot. I'm affraid that it's definitive for 3.6. It's about shortcuts discoverability.
It makes a lot of sense for discoverability. But it would be nice to be able to turn it off once you know what is there - e.g. with the context menu.
Idea about another enhancement with minimization of Toolbars I took from Mozzila. It's about intelligent dragger on the left side of Toolbar. It has these two states: * expanded - Small drag texture in a vertical position is on the left side and ToolBar is visible. * collapsed - Small drag texture in a horizontal position is on the left side and ToolBar isn't visible. <http://ui.netbeans.org/docs/hi/promoB/tasklist.html>
I plan to remove tasklist toolbar for nb42.

Yes, I think so.
