By disabling by default the 'line and filling' and 'text formatting' toolbars, this increases the available space available to viewing the slide, which also simplifies the UI. All features available in these two toolbars are present in the properties tab of the sidebar as well as in the context menu, so there are many advantages to having these hidden by default.
The formatting tool bars are always visible by default. Depending on the state, they sort of change appearance. See the discussion with Object. I advise against changing this.

Yes the object, image, and formatting toolbars hide and unhide depending on context. > See the discussion with Object. Didnt understand this part.

(In reply to Jay Philips from comment #2) > Yes the object, image, and formatting toolbars hide and unhide depending on > context. Indeed, it are only three here. But with removing two, we would accept the slide area shifting down when an image becomes selected. Is that worth the gain? I would expect people working with images would be annoyed. Or is the plan to remove that one too (is all the stuff from the images toolbar to the side bar?) ? (Now I see that when a frame is selected, the side bar has the character and paragraph parts of the panel active and not the area and line. Must be for another issue?)

Yes its about streamlining the UI, as the the properties tab of the sidebar has most, if not all, features available in the 3 toolbars. > Or is the plan to remove that one too (is all the stuff from the images > toolbar to the side bar?) ?
