Yeah, toolbars are only useful if you don't have to hunt for the right button. 
OS X-like grouping of toolbuttons into bars is quite helpful for me. The 
Domino style does that.
That being said, the first thing I do after installing a vanilla KDE is to 
throw out about 2/3 of the toolbuttons. There is a ludicrous number of them 
in most applications and they are just clutter that waste space if you can't 
quickly find the button you're looking for. It's common sense!
FWIW, I generally keep buttons for things that I use sometimes but not really 
often. For the things I use very often I just use the keyboard shortcuts. New 
users probably won't like that configuration, though.
