If you spent a lot of time opening the dash to launch apps, that would make sense.  As it is, the more-frequently-used
right side can be where your more-frequent application interactions can take place instead, and you can just throw your
pointer against the left and top edge to find the less-frequently-used Dash button.  Or move your thumb down to the
bottom of the screen.

Theory is great and all, but they way it works right now feels good.  I like feeling good.
