Walter,

please don't get me wrong. I said it multiple times. Changes like that
need to be backed by some kind of process rather than personal
preference. If you want to know what I am talking about, I can only
refer you to some book written in german quoting papers going back to
palo alto at xerox. I am talking about chapter 5.1 of this book [1]
which just reproduces studies done at palo alto back then and which are
still of great interest today. It boils down to habbits and how to deal
with them.
