Comment 312 for bug 532633

Look I'm not opposed to progress, if I was, why on earth would I mind installing a beta OS. But the concept behind progress is that there is actual improvement. Changing things for no good reason is simply unproductive.

Why could you oppose change in this case. Because it forces us to change habits, more specifically in this case automatisms. Automatisms allow us to live life without having to think about trivial tasks. They aren't there when you're born, but are built with experience, which takes time. By forcing people to change automatism (for no good reason) your actually forcing people to waste "thinking time" on trivial actions. It's like changing the order of the throttle and the break in a car, just because the designer liked it better that way?

If the potential fancy new toy in the right corner was actually there, people wouldn't be feeling that the changing effort is for nothing.

And by the way, for those who state it's all about options. Yes, options are great, but they are no excuse for poor decisions. By which I'm not stating this one is a poor decision. I do strongly disagree with it though and form me it's back to menu:min,max,close for now.
