My current thinking is that having the additional items in the top bar
doesn't really cause any harm. They don't waste screen real estate (since
we aren't going to drop the top bar completely - ok, maybe we could make
it thinner, but that's not a huge difference), they are easy and obvious
to even a casual user.
The question is more complicated with the handles on the bottom - and
that's why we are doing these alpha binaries so people can try them and
tell us what they think. I'll make a new binary with the transparent
handles soon so we can collect more feedback.

For me, each square millimeter on the screen is important. Both a fixed
action button and the two experimental arrow buttons at the bottom
effectively remove a valuable piece of display area at the bottom of the
screen. Intuitively I feel the action button packs more functionality
into a single button. However it took me some time to get used to using
the action button. A high priority should be to keep that bottom area of
the screen available for ordinary data display. The initial Action
button that disappeared depending on scrolling was a reasonable solution
to this problem. But any solution that (mostly) frees the bottom part of
the screen would be fantastic.
Kind regards,
