Ok, point taken -- although I think care needs to be taken not to build so many extra options in (just in case someone wants it) that it becomes

a) very difficult for new users to discover features, because there's so much less-than-useful stuff to scan through, and

b) very hard for new & old users to find anything (think MS Word, which has so many, albeit useful, menu items that you can find your favorite feature more quickly by doing a web search than by scanning through all the menus/prefs)

I'll happily concede that bulia tends to have very good judgement on these things -- I'm relatively new around here, and bulia is clearly experienced.

Either way, I think it would be useful to have a more concrete use-case than "I bet there are people who would want the old orientation back" before adding a preference for something. Bulia, do you have any use-cases or actual people in mind for this preference?
