You can hide it, but "Drafts," "Sent Mail," and "Trash" are under the "[Gmail]" folder. (Even though there's a duplicate and empty "Trash" folder above the root.) I check those frequently so it has to stay. I'm pretty sure Thunderbird hacks around some Gmail quirks already, they may as well hack around this one too while they're at it!
How do you configure Thunderbird to remove the [Gmail] folder. I can select which subfolders I subscribe to - but still the root [Gmail] folder is always there.

The gmail folder is not thunderbird's fault. Its google's imap implementation. If you configure it correctly you should not see it.

You can configure Gmail to not display certain folders in IMAP.
