I knew this had to happen back when I first saw the mockup screenshots. I am totally happy with the new window controls now. It only took me a week or so to get used to window controls being on the left when I switched from primarily Windows to primarily Mac OS X. People will get used to it eventually.

'People will get used to it eventually.'
I expect you're probably correct. What's the point, though? Why is it better this way? Why should thousands (millions?) of users retrain their muscle memory? What are the benefits to moving these windows controls from one side of the window to the other?
Are there any benefits?

It's now easier for people that decide Ubuntu wasn't everything they wanted to switch OSX?

False sense of superiority.

Next step - keyboard shortcuts! :-)

Application shortcuts remappable from Ctrl+ to Alt+, lake BeOS would be sufficient. Application shortcuts remappable to Super+ would be awesome, then you could do Super+C to copy and Ctrl+C to send kill in the Terminal, Super+H to hide an app window and Ctrl+H to delete char backwards. Ahh…
