Although the comments on the mailing list do make sense, most of the decision seems based on initial exposure to dodge windows and although it could well be confusing to some people could this whole situation have been solved by having big shiny visual clues on screen the first time such things are encountered? Just like Android 4? Adds a bit of bling-bling to impress new users at the same time :)
I am another of those who prefer to have dodge windows, mainly because I find autohide fiddly with a touchpad and needs too much pressure by default.
I find I mostly use the launcher when the desktop is empty so hence the usefulness of dodge. I cannot use the launcher in always show mode simply because I mostly use maximized windows and I just cannot take my eyes off the ugly top left corner of the screen where everything meets.
The way the menubar overhangs the window at the top of the launcher. Just ugly and weird.
