Suggestion for later versions of Unity

[Jason Benjamin]

I think would ruin the unique style of the Unity interface. There are 
lots of other desktops that support right oriented UIs. I am surprised 
enough that tiling made it into the window manager used with Unity (this 
is a feature popular with older [read more advanced] window managers).  
Not only that, but many people are used to the panel tray being on the 
right side.

Every Linux desktop has its own original features when it comes to the 
window manager close...maximize buttons.  Elementary for example has 
only close and maximize buttons (one on each side).  KDE has pins, etc...

[Corporate programming] is often done to the point where the individual is completely submerged in corporate "culture" with no outlet for unique talents and skills. Corporate practices can be directly hostile to individuals with exceptional skills and initiative in technical matters. I consider such management of technical people cruel and wasteful. --  Bjarne Stroustrup
