Editor Window Close Button Location

Question

The editor window close button used to be located at the top right-hand corner and was easy to use.  Now that the close button is located on the window tab itself, the mouse cursor position has to be changed after closing each window which is annoying.  Why not put the editor window close button in both places; on the window's tab and in the top right-hand corner of the window set.

Thank you for the feedback. Unfortunately it's way too late in the game for fundamental (or even minor) UI changes - this is just something you'll have to live with for VS2010. Please create a connect bug for this feature request and we'll take it under consideration for the next version of Visual Studio.

I assume that you are aware you can can right-click the tab and click the "Close all but this" if you wish to do a whole-sale closing of windows except for the current one.
