One way to get rid of too many button could be to show them only at 
demand (onmouseover for example).
Here is the example:
http://www.typo3cms.pl/fileadmin/pliki/rollover_opacity.htm

The "web -> page view" looks much cleaner with all than CE buttons 
almost not visible (opacity = .1)

This is very confusing indeed. "Default" here means default language. I 
would:
a) remove it if there is only one language in the system
b) make it a flag only if there is more than one language in the system


Right now you can use:
mod.SHARED.defaultLanguageLabel = something1

But this allows to show "something1 (Default)". So "(Default)" is
added automatically if you change the "default" :)

+1 for not showing "Index: Yes" as pages are indexed in 99%

So if there is no information "Index: Yes" that should means that the 
page is indexed. It much better to show only: "Index: No".

+1 for making it visible on "onmouseover" or "onclick"

I would make it "onmouseover" or "onclick" visible as searching is not 
used so often. The same way as "Filter" that is "onclick" in new page 
tree.in 4.2.
Search "This page" is essential.
