Well, I can (and I know I'm almost alone with it) see why they prefer to have the bar instead of the pagenumbers - as the bar represents a percentage-value and therefore really is independent from fontsizes it's the only thing close to an accurate position in your book you can get. I do though understand why people want the pagenumbers nontheless.
The only time I miss it is when I do an update (like correcting typos) while in the middle of a book and I have to try & error to find again where I was.
