Belay that.  Leo 6.0 final will support --no-docks.

These are reasons to prefer the docked interface, not reasons to *prohibit* 
Leo's legacy interface!

True, but mostly irrelevant.  #1182 
<https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/issues/1182> is independent of 
g.app.dock.

g.app.dock is a useful "tag".  Removing g.app.dock would not substantially 
simplify Leo's code. 

Leo 6.0 *will* retire the non-tabbed qt gui and seldom-used commands.  See 
#1171 <https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/issues/1171>.

*Summary*

Some users may prefer Leo's legacy look and feel. There is no real reason 
to prevent that.
