I agree. Not being able to disable the library bar made me immediately downgrade back to 1.12.
It's annoying that it can't behave in various ways. I'm using VLC as a quick and simple player, now they're offering me just their idea of how it should be used.
You US citizens at some point in future will need to understand that though we don't hate you, but your government and associated corporate behaviors, you have a responsibility for who represents you. If you continue to not uphold to that responsibility it get's harder and harder to respect you. As individuals you would laugh at me since I'm probably much weaker then you. But I know that we have learned a lot through time. Your nation is really young and there's so much collective experiences you never had. Please don't make the mistake and fight for north America staying like it is. I believe in better futures for everybody.
I took a one week Blender (2.56) course at uni and I can't help but find that it has some very quirky UI behaviors (among others):
The standard mouse button for selecting is the right mouse button. This is just a complete break with what one is used to. Period.
I'm glad I could quickly change this to the left mouse button, but of course most of the course attendees were trained to bend their brains and the instructor always got confused when he came to help me at my place.
Snapping is completely cumbersome, the role of the 3D cursor and snapping altogether allow certain tasks in an annoying 5 step process rather than just a single operation (like in the Adobe 2D apps). In general, it's hard to work precisely.
The former I can only attribute to the fact that it's an open source app with a user base that got used to certain behaviors and therefore enforces to keep them.

here's a screenshot, the lower VLC 2 window is at minimum size already http://i.imgur.com/1wEyJ.png
