Can we please get rid of the sidebar, or at least provide
a way of turning it off? I don't think it's anywhere
near useful enough to be worth the space it takes up.

You can only use it when you're scrolled to the top of
the page, otherwise it's just a useless empty space.
Also, I often want to put the documentation side by side
with the code I'm working on, and having about a quarter
to a third of the horizontal space taken up with junk
makes that much more awkward than it needs to be.

A table of contents as a separate page is a lot more
usable for me. I can keep it open in a browser tab and
switch to it when I want to look at it. Most of the time
I don't want to look at it and don't want it taking up
space on the page.

Also I agree about the grey text being suboptimal.
Deliberately throwing away contrast, especially for
the main body text, is insane.
