I dont want to be naggy, but for me this is not a satisfactory reason. This can't be the only reason, and if it is, what is the plan for the right side - IMO it has to be fucking awesome to justify breaking muscle memory, cluttering up the left side, and putting so many small buttons next to each other. About beeing compared to OSX: Its not a huge problem and I agree that it can also be a good thing. But purple was the soup du jour when the last OSX 1.5 came out, it isnt anymore. So if we are trying to copy OSX, lets not be two years behind them. So the only reason that is given for moving the buttons to the left is that it “gives more space to play with on the right”.
