The editor an en.wp who signs as "Josh, linguist" has left the following suggestion about toolbar placement in the Visual Editor:

"I've encountered a sort of inconvenience which is the following: while editing, the toolbar occupies a significant area in the upper third visually and otherwise blocking the text, when we, at the same time, usually have an unoccupied area to the left (where the navigation column is which is often empty much below the existing items); the question is why not to devise a possibility, an option to change its place — I mean the toolbar could be opted to place it either where it's offered to be now – or, otherwise, on the left side of the pane – where it should not be blocking an essential area of the text to edit, in this case the text available without scrolling will be by, approximately (depending on your zoom), a half more than it is now."

For RTL wikis read "right" instead of "left".
