I'd rather see autohide replaced with dodge windows. I don't see the logic in keeping autohide, but removing dodge windows, which to me has superior functionality. Why would I want my dock hidden when there is no windows covering it? When I can see my dock on a blank desktop it is quicker for me to find what I want, and it only hides when it needs to. I understand not wanting to bloat it with options, but I think dodge should stay. To me autohide is essentially a "dumber" autohide.
