I don't really see that the vertical bar adds anything over the arrows we currently have. I don't really agree with extra spacing either. Being a vertical bar, space is already fairly limited so I would see extra space as wasted space. One thing I am all for and think should be in unity as soon as possible are the folders/groups/stacks. I have found these invaluable in android.
