I feel the backstage should be hidden as default - Maybe it could be
accessed as a checkbox option you could put in the backstage in the
Tweaks tab??

I don't quite get the point, where you say that "the new tiddler
button was readily available, and I didn't have to scroll to the top
of the page to click it."
It's still located in the SideBarOptions tiddler isn't it? - in the
menuBar at the top of the PageTemplate - so you'll still have to
scroll up to see it?!

The new tiddler is hidden in readonly mode, and I feel/think that the
permaview button should be available to readers who would want to
share a link to all open tiddlers (story).. TW *is* different in that
it doesn't provide breadcrumbs, unless you provide a plugin which
forces it to do so, and even then you'll only have a link to one open
tiddler - which isn't perfect, when you'd want to share the view of
several tiddlers in a story...
I feel this is one of the advantages of a TW - which readers should
become aware of - and it should be as obvious as possible :-)
Maybe the CloseAll button should/could be replaced with a Home -
button, which will prevent readers from getting "a blank story", and
let them start all over - just like you would expect on most
"traditional webpages" ....

Yep - I don't like that...
I was quite thrilled, back then, when the backstage was made very
slim.
