People have been trained to accept the three-button-group by years of
Windows abuse. :)
There has been a thread, originally concerning the close button, that
also deals with the pro and con of a minimize button:
//www.freelists.org/post/haiku-cdt/Close-window-button
One con I mentioned back then is that having only two spacially
separated buttons left/right is much more muscle memory friendly than
having to discern symbols every time.
Also, I imagine that minimizing is an action more frequently used than
"maximizing". Therefore the tab offers more screen estate to click. No
aim, no pain.
How to have a visual clue wrt the minimize feature, I have no idea...
