I almost never filter anything, so that isn't a consideration.  I NEVER 
use tags, for instance, so I don't want it in the way.  I DO sometimes 
do a filter/search, and would like to move that up to the menu bar, 
where I have plenty of space, rather than it taking room above my 
message headers.
I also never use 'starred', so it could go.  I already have 'unread' on 
my menu bar, so it is redundant.
If I want 'contacts', I will select it in the Write window, and I have 
'address book' on my menu bar.  Redundant.
