Yeah but the other docks just aren't as nice as Docky, despite the fact.

One thing Docky really needs though is an edge-of-screen motion delay like OSX's dock. I posted my idea here: https://answers.launchpad.net/docky/+question/145840

From a functionality perspective, this would solve the problem where if I have a hidden dock on the right side of the screen and accidentally touch the side of the screen while reaching for a right-side scrollbar docky pops out and causes a nuisance while trying to scroll.

In constrast, the OSX dock unhides when you rest your cursor so if you are reaching on the edge of the screen and briefly hit the edge while trying to scroll or press a button, the dock won't immediately pop out and get all in the way.
