#2Honestly, it took about ten seconds to learn it was on the other side. Is it really that much trouble for people to adapt? It's been less than a day and I don't even notice it's on the other side any more.
Yes, there's the argument that people should (and can) put it wherever they like, but seriously, within ten or so instances it's relearned.

It really isn't trouble at all...except people hate change.

I don't like it, but it doesn't matter for me because I change to clearlooks with new icons for gnome anyways and they didn't mess with buttons on that theme.

Ubuntu Linux is in danger of becoming the new windows. Time to move to Plan 9! I don't see that becoming mainstream for at least a year.

#7If you're worried about what side of the window your close button is on, you're doing it wrong. Learn the keyboard shortcuts and move on to more important issues.

I thought HN was a hangout for people wanting to start their own business.
Edit: Yikes. I guess the truth hurts. :)

It's almost ridiculous how much.
If such a minute change like this generates such a negative reaction from someone, how is that person going to handle real, serious change? Especially when this minute change was such an arbitrary thing to begin with.
Change is good. Temporary uncomfort is good. Adaptability is a trait to nurture, not protect yourself from.

Pointless change for the sake of change is what causes me to react negatively.
