Comment 44 for bug 930148

So having it as an option wouldn't keep everyone happy? To me you are indeed sounding more like a priest than a scientist in this thread.

My children and partner are 'users' and they never once had a problem with the launcher Dodging out of the way, but they do have a problem with it always being there and getting on top of everything. I don't really want the kids opening the Home folder when what they wanted to do was hit back on the browser.

Obviously this is just one instance which you will obviously ignore as actual user experience in the real world doesn't sound too important.

I've been a big fan of Unity and as a fairly new user find it very user friendly but this decision is making me look at other distros again.
