I don't like all that clutter in the fold line, either, but I do
like to see the number of lines in the fold, so I modified the
appearance of the fold line with this in my ~/.vimrc.

set foldtext=MyFoldText()

" MyFoldText()
"
" This is intended to be the same as the default foldtext()
" function, but without the text of the first line of the fold.
" See f_foldtext() in eval.c to see how the string is built.
"
function! MyFoldText()
let n = v:foldend - v:foldstart + 1
let i = indent(v:foldstart)
let istr = ''
while i > 0
let istr = istr . ' '
let i = i - 1
endwhile
return istr . "+-" . v:folddashes . " " . n . " lines "
endfunction

You could do something similar to get the appearance you want. I
wrote it before the repeat() function was available, so it could
probably be rewritten with five fewer lines today. See

:help fold-foldtext
