Is it better to swap Message and Staging Area columns?

Hi there,

I love this tool as it is clear and fast. It's especially helpful if you want to focus only on changed files.

Just not sure about the order of the columns for the columns at the lower half. I think normally we start from the working copy, stage them to the staging area and finally commit or amend them to solid commits. Therefore it feels a little bit confusing to have the staging area on right and you will need to track from left to very right end and jump back to middle for the commit message.

Is there a purpose for this design?

Thanks

There is no particular reason otherwise :)
