Check out the examples you put into the whitepaper. Most competitors do so
and keep sections open.
Yes calligra, visio 2007, yEd and lucidchart have accordians with contractible
sections, but none have them always open, which is what you were proposing in
comment 19. Inkscape, dia, and visio 2010 use the folder/file approach.

Susobhan's idea is to add a tab to the sidebar which holds the basic shapes
only. The advantage is to get rid of the drawing toolbar in Draw, and the
lengthy menu in Writer > Insert > Shape would have a redundant interaction.
The main benefit that this sidebar deck is intended to have would be to contain
non-basic shapes that arent in the drawing toolbar for use in Draw, so that
Draw can be more useful. Having the basic shapes as a separate content panel in
the deck would make useful for those who dont want to use the drawing toolbar
in modules where shapes arent a primary part of the functionality (i.e. writer,
excel). Even with basic shapes in the deck, that wouldnt eliminate the reason
to have them in the Insert > Shape menu.
We maybe misunderstand each other when it comes to the design because we might
be talking about different content panels of the deck. My approach to the
design of the deck is the programmably viable style with a 'default' content
panel of basic shapes which would be scrollable to fit all the shapes (similar
to wps's shapes sidebar) and a folder/file design for the 'more' content panel,
with or without a search capability.
