I agree with @eelik regarding having zones in the items visibility list. It is mostly a convenience thing since you can turn the zone visibility on and off on the other side of the window.

Another item I would like to highlight is the ability to see the through hole pads from the opposite side of the board. This is an issue when placing reference designators on the silkscreen layers. For instance, silkscreen on the bottom layer. If I have a footprint placed the top layer that has through hole pads, when I turn off the "Footprints front", the through pads disappear. So, if I am placing reference designators on the the bottom layer, I cannot see the through pads to avoid placing the silkscreen over top of the pads.
