[QGIS-Developer] Get rid of 'Manage Layers Toolbar', or not?

[Richard Duivenvoorde]

Hi Frank,

A plugin developers is free to place a button on whatever toolbar he
wants. In your case the author could also place it in the 'Vector layer'
toolbar, if you really like a button to have.
About removing it or not. I'm ok with both options, though I think we
should refrain for becoming an application in which there are 4 ways to
do stuff an in that way clutter the application with buttons, panels and
bars.

I think Andreas option is fine: remove it for some time from the
'default' startup panels (for new users) and then later remove it.

Regard,

Richard Duivenvoorde
