I think that button placement should be user configurable, and if you
poll X number of people you will get X+2 opinions which way is the
right way.

I work on OSX, Win and Linux most days, and I don't think either way
is inherently better - it just should be mutable for the people that
feel it matters to them.

I wouldn't take it up on the dev list - I'm sure there's quite a few
people expressing opinions there both ways there already.

You know, letting the user decide stuff like this was one of the
reasons I started using linux way back when. Why lately does everybody
have this 'there's only one true way to do things' attitude going?
Please don't take this personally Dotan, I'm certain you have a
preference, and it does make a difference to you, but I'm equally sure
there are others on the opposite side of the discussion.

You're like all those delusional Emacs users out there </ducks>
