Sometimes, Apple's (or any other software maker's) complete lack of respect for usability never ceases to amaze me. Take today for example. Apart from the close, minimise, and "maximise" widgets Apple places on window decors, there is also a fourth widget programmers on the Apple platform can use. This widget resembles a sort of dash, and is placed on the top right corner of the window decor. This widget is used in many applications, both from Apple as well as from various third parties. It has one function: toggle the visibility of the window's toolbar.

What I'm saying is why shouldn't the filemanager have a different use for that, to me the filemanager servers a different function to all other applications anyway.
It seems logical to me that spatial mode would be switched by the forth widget on the right hand side. Having two methods one to switch spatial and one to hide the toolbar seem abit off to me just for the finder.
Why can't the finder have a different function, applications dont have a spatial mode and if they did where would the button be!
