But the scrollbar is on the left for a reason: _if_ you use the mouse for editing, you'll use it more often than not on the left (until Eli's work gets merged)
Of course if you use a mouse in the modern era, chances are you'll have a scroll wheel on the mouse, and be more perturbed by emacs'treatment of the region and point when you scroll than the scrollbar's position. But that's a whole other can of worms.
I have the scrollbar on my screen (on the right, visible but nicely out of the way) primarily as a visual indicator of position in file, not to manipulate it much as such. I also tend to use emacs on modern landscape displays with two windows open side-by-side, so it's not all that far away on the right.
