For the people who would like to have the toolbar but not the left pane, do not despair yet! You can simply double-click on the resize dot separating the left pane from the main content area to collapse the left pane. However, this works on a per-window basis, so you'll have to double-click for every new window.
Note that the same technique can be used to bring back the left pane back to where it was.
[robg adds: I'm not aware of any way to get the opposite -- hiding the toolbar while still having a sidebar. Also, as in previous releases of OS X, you can make the "with toolbar without sidebar" appearance the default for all new windows with this method: Close all Finder windows, open one new window, double-click the dot to vanish the sidebar, set any other settings (view type, size, position) that you wish, then close the window before activating any icons within the window.]
