Really? Given the number of inane preferences in Special:Preferences (I'm looking at you preference to disable sending 304 status codes), this is where we're going to draw the line?
And also considering the fact that there are going to be gadgets that will eventually be copy pasted into every wiki that has VE, to let people show/hide it. Unless I'm missing something, it doesn't look like a choice between 'have a user preference' and 'not have a user preference' and more like 'have a user preference that works consistently and can be supported' vs 'have people randomly copy paste code from wiki to wiki that just hides UI things, and might break across updates'.
+1 to doing this the right way.
