Just to add my input here to Mark, The design team, and everyone else involved. This is a MAJOR change, and is a huge risk. I like people taking risks, however, I really do not think that an LTS version of the Operating system is the place to do this sort of thing. Especially when there are so many other applications (which have been mentioned more than enough times in this post) all have the close button on the right.
My vote here goes to reverting back to buttons on the right, and then at the very start of the work on the next release to play with which order buttons should go in, (close on the right, minimise/maximise on the left as another example). I might be interested in this change, however not at the beginning of an LTS, when other applications do not (and probably will not) follow suit. from a usability point of view this is going to annoy far more people than it pleases. I honestly do like the idea of changing it, I just don't think this is the right time to do so.
