[Qgis-developer] QGIS3: getting rid of Load layer toolbar?

[Matthias Kuhn]

We could just ship QGIS with a different default configuration:

layer toolbar: hidden

what would the "single add data button" do? open a browser window? that
would be pretty easy.

regardless of this discussion, I like the ideas of:

 * fixing (or creating a list of) things that are missing from the browser
 * unifying the dialogs for adding layers
