--- Comment #2 from Jean-Baptiste Faure <jbfaure at libreoffice.org> ---
I am pretty sure that the user does not want Gnome HIG decides for him how to
arrange his workspace and if the sidebar should be on the left or on the right.
It is clear for me that the user must be free to dock the sidebar on the side
he wants.

In my daily work, I prefer to have the sidebar on the right side in Writer
because, with this layout, the right end of the text is near the screen center
and has a better visibility. Indeed the content of the document is more
important than the sidebar, so it is the text that must have the better part of
the screen.
In Calc I dock the sidebar on the right side too, because it is closed most of
the time and, when I open it, that does not move the table on the screen.

Best regards. JBF
