On a related subject, it seemed to me to be usual to add tabs on the right, should this be the default for new users? Just that tabbed browsers and terminals tend to do it this way.
You are right, the reason for putting them on the left was just my personal preference and I agree to place them by default on the right side. But on the other hand, how is this done by other text editors/IDEs (e.g. Kate, Gedit)? I think to remember that Anjuta places new tabs also on the left side.
I just tested some editors and it seems that the default is indeed to place new tabs on the right:
Anjuta: left Bluefish: right Cssed: right Gedit: right Kate (with file tabs plugin): right Scite: right
So, I think we should change the default to place new tabs on the right.
If anyone has another opninion, just tell us. Otherwise, it will be changed in the next release. But note, we are only talking about the default behaviour. If you don't like it on the right(like me), you can still change it in the preferences dialog.
