us or users? i don't have any objections to the toolbox as stated in my
Review Board comment.

i think by providing a (not default) option for turning off the toolbox some
people will be happy. the side effect of that (which i am in favor of in
theory) is that it creates a conceptual switch for the zooming desktop (and
whatever else toolbox will control). i think if the functionality was
something a user could turn on and off, they might be more compelled to
explore it, learn it, and use it (this is particularly for people who wouldnt
have otherwised cared about it).
and i dont know why, but these kde people love to configure stuff, whether or
not it is good for them :)

I didn't say there were any. i think people are just complaining because it's
new and different. the lack of/(brokeness in older versions) functionality
probably isn't helping this sentiment.
