I'm not sure about that. Since the visual metaphor is that the task browser
is "hidden at the left of the task editor" (thus, you go back by pressing
the left-pointing arrow), I think it is relevant to put the sidebar on the
right: it appears after the main part of the UI (the editor), and therefore
intuitively occupies a secondary place in the UI (which it should have,
since it's metadata).
