For those who say "I don't see any problems, Mac users does not complain
about left buttons", that's really unfair:

1) Because it's their decision to buy this SW/HW bundle.
2) Other points of the interface make a difference:  Menus are not on the 
application window (they are on the upper bar), so for Mac users there is no 
risk to close the application when you want to open a menu for instance.

Almost everyone complain because this change user habits and lack the
coherence of the inspiring Mac OS interface: It's a badly engineered
hybrid that will annoy users, being source of many errors.

But maybe Canonical, in it's short history, lack knowledge of annoying
users cost? Maybe they could ask Microsoft about Vista debacle...

On top of these concerns (among others), underlying Ubuntu evolution
that may appear in these interface changes have imo been summarized very
well by Crunchbang (originaly Ubuntu based) founder speaking about the
reasons for recent Debian rebase:

"Unlike the Ubuntu project, Debian does not have a commercial sponsor
with any commercial interests. This was never an issue for myself, until
recently when Canonical seems to have become less of a sponsor and more
of a governing party; I know this is debatable, but I believe that some
of their recent decisions might not necessarily have been made with the
best interest of their users/community at heart."
