@Rasto
I think you are misunderstanding me. All I was saying is that the launcher is different and can't replicate the functionality of a taskbar 100%. Single-click top-hierarchy per-window minimizing simply is impossible to do in a dock. If you add that feature the dock automatically becomes a taskbar and I don't think the taskbar is coming back. The launcher "could" do a lot of things, even improve on the old taskbar. I'm fairly sure a minimizing feature will make it into the next version in one way or another, comment #58 maybe.

On your second point: sounds like a bug, not intended behavior. Consistency is an explicit goal of Unity.

Btw, you make it sound like I was from Canonical. I'm not, I'm just a user like you, part of the "community". What I'm writing here is my personal opinion.

Sorry for the confusion but I feel it's important to make these seemingly nitpicking distinctions to determine the best solution.
