If we want to appear by default more like other GUI apps out there,
then we should bite the bullet and show some widget that allows to
toggle on/off those parts of the UI (tool bar, menu bar, scroll bars,
etc.), like they do.

IOW, turning off the tool bar by default and leaving the users with
"M-x tool-bar-mode" to turn it on is IMO a step back in usability
which will leave us with a poorer UI.
