Comment (by s3w47m88):

 Thanks for re-opening.

 I agree that hiding options can be confusing. However, I think that needs
 to be put in context of who the user is.

 For example, you and I are power users. So, if you took Screen Options as
 an example, it's hidden by default and you and I probably agree we
 wouldn't want those readily visible at all times. Hence the tab effect.

 But in my experience training non-developers on WordPress they aren't even
 aware it's there, much less what it does, until I explain it to them. So
 having a Custom Pointer is necessary for first-timers.

 So maybe we need something like that for this? Or maybe an option in
 Settings to show them all the time, or hide them all the time.

 I actually am working up a proposal for a universal "Hide Text / Show
 Icons" concept so power users can hide all the text for things that we
 have memorized, but users with less experience can see all the text in
 every possible place until they're comfortable hiding it.

 Not sure if that last point / concept makes sense, it's a bit of a
 tangent.
