 Agreed. And there is more danger... Workspace(s)/Projects, Mask

 That's possible for some: ''Settings > Preferences > General > Hide 'X'
 tab'' where ''X'' is ''Modules'' or ''Python''. The ''Data'' tab should be
 in this list as well and same for ''Region''. We can even consider hiding
 the ''Console'' tab and show it automatically when an error is printed.
 And of course ''3D view'' is there already only when needed.
