Increased Screen Real Estate
Hiding the taskbar provides more screen space for applications and content, which is useful for maximizing workspace, especially on smaller screens or when using applications that benefit from a larger view.
Cleaner Aesthetic
A hidden taskbar can contribute to a more minimalist and less cluttered desktop appearance, providing a streamlined look that some users find aesthetically pleasing.
Reduced Distractions
By hiding the taskbar, users can focus more on their current tasks without the visual or notification distractions that can arise from visible taskbar icons and alerts.

Delayed Access to Taskbar
With the taskbar hidden, accessing it requires additional steps, such as hovering or using a keyboard shortcut, which can slow down workflow, especially for users who frequently switch between applications.
Missed Notifications
Important notifications or status changes usually signaled by taskbar icons might be overlooked if the taskbar is not visible, potentially causing users to miss critical updates.
Learning Curve
Users accustomed to a visible taskbar might find it challenging to adjust initially, as they need to familiarize themselves with new methods for accessing taskbar functions quickly.
