It doesn't bother me in the least.  My MGA ran 20 years with positive 
earth, then a 9 year layover during restoration, then 21 years with 
negatige earth.  I don't see any difference either.

If anyone was worrying about corosion where ground  wires connect to 
the chassis or body, you should remember that all of the ground wires 
other than the battery ground cable have current flowing in the 
opposite direction across the connection from the battery ground 
cable.  If current flows from the remote ground wires into the body 
or chassis, then it flows from the body or chassis into the battery 
ground cable, or vice versa depanding on polarity.  If you think one 
corrodes more than the other, then you get to choose which you want 
to corrode more and which less.  I don''t have any corrosion problem 
with any of them.
