A rather more user friendly approach is to open the layer switcher and

Well that does it, but let's be honest, it's hardly "user friendly". A
re-click of the notes icon or collapsing of the left pane is clearly
more intuitive.
Well those disable the add note control, which is logically separate
to the notes layer (you can turn that on without adding a note).
I'm struggling to comprehend how a button to turn off the notes layer,
that's separate (& hidden!) from the only obvious button to turn the
layer on can be described as 'logical' to an experienced user let alone
a newbie..
The real confusion comes from the fact that starting to add a note
turns on the note layer - there are good reasons
What are they?
The 'off' switch should be a part of or next to the 'on' switch.
Example: To turn off your kitchen lights do you have to go & stoop
underneath the bathroom sink to find the appropriate switch?
for that but it does rather complicate the user interface.
The problem with turning off the notes layer again when the add note
control is disabled is that it might already have been on before you
started adding a note, so we would probably have to remember if we had
turned it on or if it was already on .
Trying to figure out what to do if somebody starts toggling the notes
layers on and off manually while the add note control is active just
introduces even more levels of complication...
By 'we' do you mean the programmers? I hope not. It's not that
complicated! on/off, yes/no, 0/1 binary! It's the DNA of computers!
