You aren't the only one. The position of the icons on the left has some merit, it allows more grabbable space at the top of the window and looks elegant. It's also near the menus etc. and it's something I can get used to. The bug is the ordering of the minimize and maximize buttons which have been swapped for no obvious reason, have similar icons so you now you have to actively think about which you are clicking, also more importantly, it breaks other themes, it can't be reverted without breaking the default themes, and doesn't work with the Gnome theme appearances. It's also the opposite way to both OSX and Windows so will be confusing for users of those operating systems and upgraders of previous Ubuntu versions. I'm also sure we'll find other places in Gnome where this ordering doesn't work correctly, which of course can be patched, but I haven't yet seen any explanation for causing everyone a load of work (for theme designers, programmers and users). I would request/suggest that the minimize/maximize buttons are swapped back, but the icons remain at the top left.
