--- Comment #1 from Heiko Tietze <[email protected]> ---
The KDE HIG (it is still relevant at the current version 5) wasn't written
without discussion
(https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-guidelines/2014-January/000626.html). The
decision is based on a survey
(http://user-prompt.com/kde-hig-survey-about-how-to-align-controls-over-multiple-groups/)
where 2/3 voted for this type of alignment. However, the drawback is clearly
when labels differ in size, but in this case it works also not well with
left-aligned captions. Another objection was based on the consideration that
users read the labels - and that is preferrably done from left (given LTR
orientation). Unfortunately this option wasn't included in the short poll.

We should also take into consideration that alignment might depend on the OS.
So familiarity would be likely violated in some cases.
