Ok, I am as well not sure if it would be a good idea to hide it by default.
Note that we already have the option to show/hide single devices, etc. in
shortcut view on right click at the bottom.

I dont like to have special treatment for specific devices (or places). If we
want to have more options to position them, I would go for full DnD support, so
that positions are freely configurable.

Already works fine here. If you hide all devices, the section "Devices" will as
well vanish. (Though so far only available for shortcuts view)

Actually I like to have "Vorlagen" at least somewhere .. even if that is a bit
inconsistant :) ... I would rather add it to the shortcuts as well. Many users
dont know that templates even exist, and the popup directly tells how it can be
used.

I agree regarding the network shares, though thats nothing I want to add during
GtkAction replacement (what I originally wanted to do in that branch) .. we
could look into that later on.
