Comment #29 on issue 5278 by dhhwai: Reopen closed tab in its original  
position
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=5278

@Pam, I totally agree and understand that options entail costs for  
development,
testing, and maintenance.  However, strictly from a user's point of view, I  
expect
the Chromium devs to incur this cost so that they can provide the  
functionality and
easy of use of configurable options.

However, it is wrong that options entail costs to users.  If a user wishes  
to scroll
through/understand/and making decisions about all the options, that's his  
chosen time
and effort spent, which is fine.  If he wants to come back and finish  
reviewing
options later, he can always close the options and return later, which is  
fine.  If
there are options he doesn't care about, he can skip them, which is fine.   
If he is a
user that doesn't care about any options at all, he would not be viewing  
options
anyway, which is fine.

Again in summary, options do not entail costs to users, but rather provide  
immediate
configurable changes if and when such changes are desired.  Users may or  
may not know
at the beginning if they want to make any options changes.  They may want a  
change
after being informed of other possibilities, through extended use, etc.   
But the
ability to effect such a change must be available through options.  One of  
the worst
aspects of Chrome is its lack of options/configurability in providing  
preference
choices to users.
