At the risk of adding unecessary noise to the list:
Me too.
I can't see how changing this will actually break anything, though it
may mess up some layout. It's so counterintuitive, it's like being
given a bike to ride and then somebody telling you after two hours of
you falling off, 'oh yeah, you can't ride it *forwards*, unless you
press this switch under the mudguard.' At least, that's how I felt
about it the first time I spent a day trying to work out what was
going on.
