If you can't find anything in the Emacs info node, then send a bug  
report (from Help menu) in which you ask to add customisation to set  
a preference for vertical or horizontal splitting.

The "recent" preference to split the frame into an upper and a lower  
window comes from GNU Emacs's past on hardware terminals with 25  
lines and 80 columns. Creating here two windows side by side was not  
a clever thought. Since GNU Emacs can be more wide than high on 16:10  
displays this side by side layout can be more natural. And natural  
things should be supported by GNU Emacs.
