Several buttons were removed from the editing toolbar, for example strikeout. It makes sense to have rarely-used buttons hidden by default, but there should be an easy way to get them back. Currently there are instruction about doing it at http://usability.wikimedia.org/wiki/Toolbar_customization , but using this page requires editing JS, which is hard even for advanced users.
Did you see the customizations library linked from the top? It's kinda incomplete right now, I guess; if you're missing things, you can request them on the talk page and I'll add them. http://usability.wikimedia.org/wiki/Toolbar_customization/Library
I saw it, but most people don't want to edit JS files. I imagine a tab in preferences, where the user can check which buttons he wants to see in the toolbar. In the toolbar itself you can put a link called "customize", which leads to that page. (In desktop applications with rich toolbars such as Firefox or OpenOffice it is usually done by right-clicking, but this is not common in websites.)

Yes, but they shouldn't be done as gadgets. Gadgets are usually implemented separately in every project. This looks like something that is basically useful for everyone. In English, Russian and Hebrew people complained about the disappeared strikeout button, for example.

Could implement a few popular ones as preferences I guess.
