@Ed Lin
You sure come across as a dictator from Canonical to me (in fact to be honest 
I've seen better dealings from Canonical at times).

What gives you the impression that keeping the current behaviour is not
possible for a dock? Also, why call it a dock, if it's not supposed to
be one? Also, why are we copying Mac verbatim in the behaviour of the
"Launcher". Users who have already been using Ubuntu/Linux for a long
time (and yes, Windows), will be accustomed to minimizing via a simple
click on the icon, and it will come as a surprise when they are forced
to adapt to so many changes at once. First, we move window controls to
the left, arranging them like Mac (for no reason) and claim it's for
"windicators", which never came into existence. Then, we come up with a
global menu bar, for no reason, and refuse to listen to users who argue
that there could be a better solution. Oh, and indicator applets, no
autohide for you. Again, something users have been arguing we should
have had for a while. And then there is the problem of this launcher's
behaviour. We keep saying, common sense dictates that it should behave
in at least a more familiar way so as to avoid **further** confusion.
Alas - it MUST change to be like Mac as well...

Is my point becoming clear as yet? Or do I need to go on?

@Ed Lin btw not all of the above is directed toward you, just the the
first 3 questions.
