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.
