As far as good ideas/decisions go, maintaining the right scrollbar

nextstep users an option, but thats not apple's tendency.
I believe that if the left handed scrollbar was easy to get accustomed
to, steve would have left it that way.
the users that GNUSTEP is trying to woo is no diffent from the apple
crowd. they will balk.
I see two problems with that argument ...
1. if you extend it to its logical conclusion, it says we should
develop an ms-windows clone because that's what most people are used
to. IMO that way lies the path of mediocrity.
2. it assumes our prime objective is to retain a conservative, existing
customer base who are used to a particular interface, when in fact we
want to target people who are interested in changing away from their
existing system to something better.
Of course, as I said earlier, we want them option of other interfaces
available, but we want our default to be the *best* rather than the
most familiar.
