I think this be mostly because we've been habituated to look for the
close button on the right. After using the interface for a while, I
got used to finding it on the left, and when I go back to Windows, am
sometimes annoyed that it's not there. On the other hand, I do really
like not cursing at having accidentally closed when I meant to
maximize or somesuch. 8)
