I disagree.
Of course, it could be made optional.
And the argument that it carries little info isn't
an argument for showing no info. It's an argument
for showing more or better info.
___
And yes, the info can be improved.
In my case (Dired+, files+.el), it shows this, for
any listing:
z:/path/to/some/subdir:
files 157/1659 space used 34111 available 101612836
`files 157/1659' shows the # of files currently
shown (visible) in the current subdir listing (157),
compared to the # of files in the main dir (1659).
And that `files 157/1659' is a link/button.
Mouseover tells you:
Files shown / total in directory [RET, mouse-1: more info]
And clicking or RET shows you complete info about
that subdir. E.g.:
z:/path/to/some/subdir

Similarly, "space used 34111 available 101612836" is
a link/button. Mouseover tells you:
Kbytes used in directory, Kbytes available on disk
And the same info (see above) is shown when you click
or use RET.
___
And let's not forget that when Dired details are
hidden (`('), the line isn't shown at all. (IMO,
details should be hidden, not shown, by default.)
