I think that it failing to be noticed is a problem with the default
configuratins, not with the tool itself.  Perhaps we can think of some
way to make it more discoverable - like a context menu item that says
'view more options in sidebar' when the sidebar isn't shown, does
anyone have any other ideas?

I fully agree that 'less is more' :) I think we want to provide really
relevant actions/files/information.
