Main reason for it is the same reason that many "toolbars" in programs are
at the top just below the menus.  The reason is mouse movement.  If one
exclusively uses one set or the other as alternatives, then it doesn't
matter -- but if one goes from one to the other during use, then mouse 
movement is minimized ("ease of use") by having them next to another.
