    I have never really got along with it since dodge went.

    I hate that top left corner when windows are maximized, it is soo ugly and I can't stop looking at it.

    I find autohide fiddly and unreliable (sometimes it appears straight away, other times I have to wiggle the mouse pointer on the edge of the screen).

    Just always seems the launcher is never there when I want it or always there when I don't need it.

    I have been using the unity revamped PPA to bring dodge back but who knows how long it will remain compatible so I need to try to get used one thing or another.
    I didn't like the dodge feature before because it was ... "dodgy"

    I did want it to autohide because I don't have a lot of screen real estate to loose (14" at 1024x768 max).

    So I was happy to find in 12.04 the ability to set the sensitivity for the launcher as well as the size of the icons. I made the icons almost as small as they could go, and have been tweaking with the sensitivity to bring the launcher up.

    I try not to use the Dash because it takes 1-2 seconds to come up each time, and I don't have a Super key on my laptop's keyboard to bring it up without throwing my mouse cursor against the left edge.

    I like it always showing.

    Space is limited, so it's autohide.

    Autohide with small icon size. I just wish launcher reveal worked a little more slicky i.e. without the double mouse bump on the edge of the screen.
