It is unfortunate.  This wouldn't be an issue if FlatNotebook
supported left and right tab positions...

You know, one could argue that FlatNotebook is native since it is

This is fine and dandy, but you will have to rename a bunch of
controls to use the new scheme...dLed, dHtmlBox, dSpinner, dHyperLink,
dLinePlot, and dEditor come to mind, as well as the Dock classes.
They are all non-native.
