Comment 249 for bug 733349

Although it is expected behaviour in a sense that it is what many people are used to, I'm not sure that really makes it the correct or natural behaviour.

I am appreciating many changes in Unity because I find them natural, even if it is not how I am used to doing things.
I see that as an improvement.

I cannot think of a single case when using Unity that I have wanted to or needed to minimize via the launcher, even though it is what I am used to.
The minimize button is on the left so wherever the window is, I don't see that it involves any more mouse movement than moving to the launcher, in fact probably less in most cases.

If an expected behaviour is also the most natural, logical and obvious behaviour, then removing that behaviour may well cause confusion.
If an expected behaviour is simply "expected" or "used to" then I'm not sure that is a good enough reason to include the behaviour.
