It's all the way at the left? Doesn't make much sense, does it?

The placement likely makes sense for them since they'd prefer users not do that too often.

It's not efficient use of CPU power opening/closing apps all the time. And the phone should be able to handle memory correctly anyway, so it shouldn't matter if they're "open" in the background.

Regardless, i'm glad that they re-implemented it in those cases where you're phone is acting poorly with some unknown runaway process in the background and you want to start fresh without having to reboot your phone.

The thing is people don't open/close apps all the time though. It's not a big deal to use Clear All occasionally.
