Seeing very few positive feedback on the devel and users list about the 
vertical browse mode, I am in favor of removing this feature.

Or ...we could make the appearance of this select list configurable, the 
default being not visible. This way, people relying on this very old 
feature could configure it if they want to, but for the majority, the 
selector would be out of the way.

If we decide to do this, we should remove vertical support for the 
special features like inline edit and the column reordering. All the new 
stuff would be planned only for horizontal mode.
