I agree that it could be removed, but then you need to consider that there are
cases in which duplication is not bad (which isn’t per se…). If Sidebar’s close
button is to be removed, then we need to make it obvious for all users that
they can still collapse the Sidebar by toggling one of the tab buttons in the
rightmost area. And that isn’t really obvious, because those buttons do not
look like toggles. In the end I have the same feeling as Jay: the current close
button will be missed by many if removed altogether without working on fixing
the visual issues that currently block understanding of the toggling
functionality.

Just my 2 ¢
