That way, both the prefix area and the next line are both a single keystroke
away. From anywhere on a line, a CR takes you to the beginning of the next
line, a TAB takes you to the prefix area.
And then there's the human-factors aspect of wasting valuable screen real estate
on the left margin where the human eye expects to find text, only to have to
skip over a PDF/EDIT-style prefix area. Not to mention the presentation change
when the prefix area is turned off; if it's on the right, the only difference is
you might see more of each line. The text in column 1 stays in column 1.
I thought this issue was settled back in the 80's ... ;-)
