As far as I remember, a major reason for removing that button was to make the UI easier and simpler.

But why the hack then having the close button for the side pane?
It would be better to replace that one with the path/breadcrumb toggle button.

Because: Closing the side-pane with that button you anyway need to go to the menu or press F9 to bring it back again. So you have to memorize F9 to toggle side-pane anyway if you need that often. And let's face the facts: Displaying the side pane or not is a decision you take once and then keep it for all your nautilus windows (as in Windows you go to configure your folder views as you like and then keep your favorite settings - and of course hope that Windows is _really_ applying it to all windows ;-) ).
