Default position of Structure and Help toolbars
Current situation:
Structure and Help toolbars are core toolbars which are enabled in all workbenches. In the default installation, they are placed in the second row of toolbars. In all workbenches except Part Design, this means that these two toolbars are the only ones by default in the second row. This takes considerable screen real estate, as can be seen in the Part and Draft WB examples:
Proposed solution:
Place these Structure and Help toolbars toolbars by default into the first row.
Advantages:
- This would mean that all the default toolbars in the first row would be core toolbars and would stay this way during switching between workbenches
- In all workbenches except for
Part Design, this would reduce the default number of toolbar rows by one meaning better layout and more screen space for the 3D view
Disadvantages:
- it is a change
- Part Design workbench would not profit from this change

Anything else?
I think this would be a small step to make the first experience with FreeCAD a bit nicer. I guess lot of users rearange toolbars after installing FreeCAD and this could save them moving two toolbars less.
