You know, it occurs to me that the status messages and the layer dropdown may cater to different crowds. Being able to read the status messages clearly is something novice users need the most. The layer dropdown is something experienced users are after.

Not at all. Education is only one of the functions of the statusbar tips. Much more important is the informational function: how many objects/nodes selected, of what kinds etc. I for one would feel suddenly blind and disabled without this information, even more than I would without the layers widget.
