I think "most applications/websites have their main menu at the top" is
a stianism.
cloud.google.com has their menu on the left. gmail has
their menu both on the left and top. Github has their menus on right.
Wordpress has their console menus on the left.
.
So I'd say that most applications/websites have completely different
ways of organizing their menus and I find this change does nothing for
me other than waste a week of work I did.

#2, I don't think this is as significant as you claim. This is
completely an aesthetic change. It doesn't reduce any clicks. At least
as compared to Wildfly/JBoss console, *most* of interesting menu items
are on the left side.
#3, We may run out of room on the top menu as we may be adding things
like "devices" and "servers". Not everybody has 1900x1200 displays
and
the admin UI already bearly fits in 1024x800 screencasts.
#4, This change wastes a week of work I did on screencasts for minimal
gain. I'm going to be seriously pissed if I have to redo these before
Thursday...
So, -1 and no vote for me at least for Alpha 1.
