Just because we disagree is no call to suggest that I'm dishonest. Here's how I'd frame it. I think it's highly unlikely that you can move the launcher to the right, top, or bottom of the screen without tripping over lots of other aspects of Unity. On the tablet, we use the bottom edge for app controls. Perhaps that won't turn out to be relevant for the desktop, but I think it's too soon to rule that out. And we use the right edge for the side stage, which will be on both tablet and desktop, so that's an awkwardness. You may have better insights than I. But I've not seen any coherent, complete articulation of how it would all fit. Just demands from the perspective of folk who are used to a particular workflow. That's fine - Ubuntu let's you achieve that with any number of third-party tools. That's great, use them, and we'll get along fine. Now, I like to be wrong, because that's when we learn. Show how it would all fit together, and I'll come around.
