"New users don't become committed users if they are confused early on in their
explorations."
Hence: let's move dodge from default to optional. NOT "remove dodge". Can't you
seriously get that?
Moreover: committed users go away if you keep changing the way Unity
works on every release (or changing default apps for obscure reasons,
like the Rythmbox-Banshee dance). As a matter of fact, keeping seasoned
users is Ubuntu's biggest problem right now. Especially when you keep
infuriating them by coming here to play games (teasing).
"Aleve, there is something here for you to learn, I would urge you to
think about it."
I'm eager to learn. Please enlighten me, but stop playing games (teasing
and smilies).

References for that assertion?
1. If you're talking about "You have gone from tests poorly to let's
remove it" you can't be seriously asking for references. The unity-
design list is full of them.
2. If you're talking about "This has been proven a fallacy too many
times to insist" you might want to re-read the whole thread here. But
you must first admit what LOGIC DICTATES. When a good feature (it IS
good, even you yourself like it and this very bug shows it is) is not
newbie-friendly the right thing to do is to keep it hidden for advanced
users to use, not removing it. Of course "killing the dog will end the
rabies" (literal translation of Spanish proverb), but logic explains
that "ending the rabies should be about keeping the dog alive".
Removing a feature MUST be the result of many parameters. Claiming this
feature isn't maintainable MIGHT be a good reason (when added to others,
like the newbie confusion or its eventual uselessness, which has been
also disproved), and that's exactly why a clever guy (the OP) suggested
to replace dodge with simple intellihide. Here:
if (anyWindow.maximized) {
launcher.hide;
}
else launcher.show;
Yes, it's pseudo-code (at best, it's been ages since I stopped
programming), but even the most complex implementation can't go much
farther. You can't seriously say that function is hard to maintain. You
can't also seriously say there are serious implications of having "too
many options" when intellihide just implements an intelligent way to
switch between always-hide and always-show, two states that are already
supported.
The problem here, I'm afraid, is that you have made a decision ("It's
settled") without even exploring alternatives (intellihide) or even
applying basic logic (dogs and rabies...)

Title:
Dodge windows is down but what about making the launcher autohide only
on maximised apps ?
