Looks nicer but is less user-friendly.

More user friendly for parsing a list of different options.

I disagree and I'm a user.

Buttons and toggles along the right margin and text on the left works for me. I prefer to read first what I'm turning on or off.

There's a distinction between user-friendly and you-friendly, regardless of your individual status as a user.
