Wha? Correct if wrong, but the entire point of canvas rotation is so
we don't have to rotate our monitors or tilt our heads.
In package design, it helps to be able to see the upside-down panels
of your unfolded box. The point of rotating the canvas is precisely so
one does not have to stand on one's head, or try to turn the monitor
upside down.

Yes, agree with this.

In general, yes, this is more useful I think.
