My answer was "No" on this. The Preferences just say "select visible columns" with the checkboxes. I still use the data in those columns. Since the column order doesn't seem to be adjustable, I often uncheck less commonly used columns so that I can see the data I want to see in the GUI in a narrower width. I often have another window open to one side of Calibre's main GUI window. It may be a folder of books that I'm dragging into Calibre, or metadata.db open in an SQL browser and I want to see the important GUI columns in Calibre and the adjacent window at the same time on my screen.

I still want the unchecked columns accessible in the tag browser. For example, I often have the tags column turned off. It's not of any real value to sort on, and it is too long to read easily. However, I still use the tag browser.
