Well hype==VSCode in the IDE world.
But we all know VSCode is also a lot of make up over a traditional
workbench, so you weren't that far ;)

Perspective and view shortcuts.

The menu still says "Show/Hide Toolbar", we're talking about the top
toolbar here, with many buttons in it.

Whats the point of this? Do I need to learn all 18.058 Shortcuts in the

Or use Ctrl+3. Just like people who use VSCode do happily use Ctrl+P.

Not really an advantage, more noticeable a side-effect of toolbar removal.

We're actually discussing all that. And personal preferences do matter, but
the opportunity is to ship here something disrupting that in the end most
people are likely to prefer because it looks lighter/fresher.
Having preferences on the left (or somewhere else) allows to remove them
from toolbar and hide toolbars without loosing perspective switch. It's the
current convention in VSCode, Theia, (upcoming) IntelliJ...
