The problem with your Forums post is that it says "this is what really
happened" and is, in fact, quite incorrect.

Some members of the design team asked that the window controls be
grouped on the left, and presented the visualisation. So it wasn't that
I "prefer it that way". I didn't like it initially, anticipating that it
would generate a great deal of resistance. However, it does line things
up nicely for work I would like us to do in future. And the major
argument against it appears solely to be "we're used to it here", which
is important, but not overriding.
