[gui-talk] The address bar:

[Steve Jacobson]

Displaying the address bar is obviously a matter of personal choice, but I find it to be handy for the following reasons.  It is a convenient way to copy the address to be 
pasted into something such as when one wants to provide the address of a web page in an e-mail.  It can be handy if you typed in the wrong address because you can 
use it to edit what you typed without re-entering it.  It provides a convenient way to examine an address character by character if one is wondering if one is at the site 
they think they are.  For example, if one gets to an advertising site because of a typo, one can look closely to hopefully avoid making the same mistake again.

In most cases, there are other ways to do some of the above, but with the address bar there, I don't have to remember various alternatives.
