So there would be no need to treat them separately. Or I misunderstood your comment.

My suggestion is to ignore `display_max_rows` for the repr of the `Dataset.coords` and `Dataset.data_vars` properties, but not for the ""coordinates"" and ""data variables"" sections of the `Dataset` text-based repr. This way we could do `print(ds.data_vars)` to check that all variables made it into the data set correctly while keeping concise the output of `print(ds)`.","{""total_count"": 4, ""+1"": 4, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,931591247

I do agree with both arguments ""fit the screen"" vs ""need to see all the variables"", so why not have different display rules for the `Dataset`, `Dataset.data_vars` and `Dataset.coords` reprs?

For the `Dataset` repr, I think the motivation is mostly to get a quick overview of the whole dataset and basic answers on questions like:
  
- *What are the dimensions and their size?*
- *How many coordinates and data variables?*
- *Is the dataset fully loaded in memory or lazily loaded? Are the variables chunked? What's the type of arrays (dask vs. numpy)?*
- *Is there a lot of metadata or no metadata at all (global attributes)?*

All those questions can be answered with a short, truncated repr.

For the `Dataset.data_vars` and `Dataset.coords` reprs, it's more obvious that we want to see all of them, so I'd suggest not limiting the maximum of rows displayed (or have a much larger limit? but then we duplicate the display options, which is not very nice).
