But in *nix, i think those > "details" are still very valuable to be visible. No one said they are not valuable. I've used UNIX for 25 years and GNU/Linux for over a decade, so I'm aware of that. Let the details show all of the time, if you prefer. I hide them most of the time - on GNU/Linux as well as Windows. The point is that you don't need to sacrifice screen real estate when you're not looking at that information. And when you want it, it's only a keystroke away.
