I decided to stick with the buttons on the left after the change, to see how it worked out for me. I'm still getting used to it but having the maximise to far left, I find useful, it's the easiest to locate and the button I use most. I've noticed that I don't (or haven't so far) closed any windows by mistake - conversely it's harder to close windows when I want to. Again, I'm still in the mode of learning the new position and though I no longer go over to the right with my pointer, the button order is still something I have to look at.

From an aesthetic point of view, I find the menu and control clumping to the left to be slightly too busy and have found the space on the right being blank to emphasise this. There appears to be a plan for this though so maybe it'll even out the look. Overall the Ambience and Radiance themes are really very nice. Radiance seems particularly well done in comparison to a number of other dark themes I've used. The palette in Ambience seems to work well.

People don't like change, I guess. It'll be interesting to see the reaction to Gnome Shell.
