I like having it on both sides. I find that even on my big 2 monitor
system my eyes don't bother to see the lower left or off the screen on
the bottom left. Also having it on the right like that makes the whole
screen feel more balanced to me. I also work on a small system with
1024*786 (?) and I don't see a problem with screen space in this case.
