You see you're a special class of users called "Developers"? You also probably 
know you can customize your toolbar, many users don't and even if they don't, 
there's also the "First Impression", that kde is too bloated because it have 
too many buttons on its toolbars.
   Really, if you see a webbrowser that doesn't have a Up button you will not 
say "What the f*ck, this browser doesn't have a Up button?! What kind of 
browser is this?!", you'll probably search where to enable that button.

I agree partially here. I rather use the X selection instead of Cut&Paste, but 
some users may use it, I really don't know and I can say nothing. Worth 
studying.
   But removing them could improve the visual, so I'm for it. Mozilla doesn't 
have it and I never saw anybody claiming for it.

Automatically? This could cause the 'dancing toolbar' effect.
