If you have followed the comments here, i said thats i have read the list and already now the reason , but the reason of the new comers is irrelevant as we are not asking to be the default behaviour.

One example was in my comment #47 in case you missed it :

 * debian/patches/02_additional_marge_for_unity.patch:
    - dropped, it's not required with the current launcher hidding
      behaviour (it was to deal with intellihide) and create margin issues
      (lp: #936958)

Is there any way that Autohide is any better than intellihide based on Science ?

It was essential for me and for all the other ppl that is here on this bug report , because we are used to it.
Being part of an everyday experience for 2 years made it more than habit.

Its not a matter of life and death , im not a teenager im more like close to your age but that irrelevant too because i cant see any connection between the need of a feature and my age.

We can live without it as we can live without ubuntu , but that doesn't mean that we are any better in productivity or happy.

Being biased is not good. If an idea is good it doesn't matter if the guy that gave it was crazy or not.

I want to say thank you for your time . I really appreciate that you are spending time to speak with us we both want the best for ubuntu . Try to not misjudge your users .
