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.
Evidently you've misread what I wrote.
I don't think so. You said that these two elements "appeal to different crowds" and I simply argued that it's not the case.
And then immediately following, I also said:
"Of course, there is some overlap (novice users needing layers will spot the layer dropdown first, and even experienced users will find info in the status bar of use from time to time)."
Nowhere did I say, "Experienced users don't need the status messages, so let's remove that," which seems to be the case you're arguing against.
