I agree (well, I always agree with the aysiu :D).
I like the rationale behind the new position of buttons. In fact, I prefer
it over the conventional one. However, many people won't. Many can say that
it's not so hard to learn, but people still freak out. When a new user
debates with himself whether or not he's going to keep using Ubuntu, he may
even consider the window button order as a factor for deciding.
UX wise, the new window button order may be best for people who aren't used
to any window button order. However, the small UX benefits of this new
window button order may not justify the bad press Ubuntu is going to get
because of this.
