So, the conclusion is reduce working space to get visible all the nice stuff in
sidebar. Sounds like programming for programmers, like somebody using
alternative office is doing programming for libreoffice, which he/she is not
using and do not considers that somebody else is really using it. 

Besides, about half of vertical area in sidebar is not used in Properties and
some other views and horizontal space is used very inefficiently, e.g. in Page
view.
To my understanding more work space should be prioritized instead of continuous
visibility of all the stuff in the sidebar. I don't understand this discussion,
somebody made mistake and it should be corrected.

Of course, I can survive without sidebar, I'm already closing it, because it is
not possible to work in Writer with sidebar on, but it was really nice addition
in Libreoffice and it is still nice in alternative products. I'm using
star/open/libreoffice since 199x and I will continue to use it and pay annual
donations, but it would be nice not to propose mistakes as innovations.
