While I agree with your wishes for a lean GUI, you are oversimplifying here. While some people think a car's steering wheel has to be on the left side and others prefer it on the right side, most of them agree you have to have it at least in either place.
you are not going anywhere in a car without a steering wheel right? and the steering wheel is in the same location in relation to you, front and center. but then there is no configuration in a car right? somebody decided and you cant do anything about it. lets consider the stick gear shift. would you rather have stick to the left or right? or push buttons or rocker switch on the steering wheel with "UPSHIFT" and "DOWNSHIFT" labels where your thumb can get to it? ignore the the scroll bar in a browser. use the arrow keys or the search function and you got the same thing. i prefer the keys actually. -- the thing i like with my linux pc is that i can sum up my complaints in 5 items
