Just to explain the original rationale, the reason that in TW5 I put the
sidebar on the right was because I felt the story river should be the primary
content. Given the way that eye tracking studies show that we read web pages
from the top left, that meant making sure that the story river occupied the top
left corner of the page.
Further, TW5 defaults to a single sidebar to keep things simple, and make
written explanations a bit shorter ("click the X button in the sidebar" rather
than "click the X button in the right sidebar"). My worry early on was that the
combinatorial complexity of the UI would overwhelm users, so I was very
focussed on making the core UI be clear, and establishing conventions that
would allow more elaborate formulations to be built on top.
Best wishes
