["Sergey \"Shnatsel\" Davidoff" <sergey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'd prefer to always place the switch on the right of its label because the
current layout ruins the reading rhythm - when reading left-to-right, I see
the state of the switch first and only later I read what it does, and if I
want to alter its state I have to go back in the beginning.
If the switch is placed on the right, I read the label first, then see its
state and if I don't like it, I can change it right away. This is what's
used in every UI with switches I've ever seen, so consistency is also a
factor here.

The same applies to checkboxes, although in case of checkboxes the current
layout might be justified by the alignment.
