Personally I find the total number of lines quite useful - it tells you quickly how big the file is. Also the space "wasted" by its presence is relatively small because it shares the caption with the current line number. For me the least useful information is the INS/OVR indication because this is already indicated by the cursor. But in general I find the current state of the status bar OK.

I second that. From my opinion:
- number of lines indication may be useful;
Ok, I suppose so.
- INS/OVR indication is probably excessive;
I decided to keep it by default, partly as gedit does this but also you might be more likely to notice quicker if you accidentally hit the 'insert' key.
- current state is ok, it's not so overcrowded.
OK, no changes made to default. It's now configurable so just showing RO instead of INS/OVR is possible, with space saving when not RO.
Thanks for the comments.
