have the tabs facing left and right on the blades for the switches...

That's just plain wrong.

But really, up, down, even left or right - about the only thing I want is room to get a finger to the tab. I get tired of digging out a screwdriver to press the tab because it's too close to another tab or a cable or a metal lip of some sort and my big, fat fingers just won't fit.
