So what dock do you like best?
I myself like AWN-avant windows manager.The reason being it works and is really flexible.

I like AWN, but I don't like gnome so I don't use it much. Kiba just annoys me because it's behavior is erratic and unpredictable (even when it works), and Cairo dock just seems really buggy. Ksmoothdock and wbar are my favorite non-composited docks; I use them the most.

ksmoothdock has to be my fave as it needs no compositing

AWN is the only one I've managed to get working so far, so I vote for that.

Cairo-Dock (http://www.cairo-dock.org/). It has the most features and most configuration options, and I've submitted patches to it to add a new feature (and they're going to add it to the SVN trunk)

I had been using AWN, but since I switch in and out of Compiz I just use a GNOME panel at the bottom now. Ever since I changed the height to 48 (still autohiding), the window list became a lot more useful. Also, in dock-esque fashion, all my most favorite programs are accessible via large icons on this panel.

I don't think AWN looks the best (that'd go to Cairo Dock), but it's got the best functionality. ESPECIALLY for someone like me who wants to eliminate all panels. As I have it set, I don't need my panels for anything, and dangit that's awesome.

AWN is my favourite, as it is easy to set up and very functional, while looking pretty good :)

I don't like the dock concept, but if I were forced to use one I would use wbar.

hhhhhx

i use awn mostly, but i also have kibba, and wbar, so i guess my favorite is choice

I use awn just cause I can't figure out how to use anything else. What I'd really want from AWN is to have it beable to be on the right or left side of the screen' instead of the bottom.
