I think dodge should stay for the fact if you have firefox open for instance, unity launcher overlaps the backbutton makeing firefox unusable without having to move firefox by hand to the right ,you could solve this by making unity launcher always below
but then unity launcher isnt accessable because its under other windows . Its inconsistant and confusing because
say you use the snap function unity launcher wont overlap the launcher ,but when you move firefox to the left
unless you snap it its under the launcher.

Another option would be so when the launcher is visible it takes up the space so that is the edge of the screen now
is the edge of the launcher

 I have two use cases that moved over to ubuntu because of this feature

(1) A 75 year old man . (just learned how to use google!!!!!)
(2) A 35 year old female.(just checks email does a bit of office work)

So not power users.

They both didn't find it confusing ,but now they are dissapointed its gone , and unless i patch it back in there moving back
to windows . Because this is what windows didnt have, all the wobbly windows and the compiz flashyness didnt impress them but this did, Hud now thats confusing but having said that there in a learning curve for anything, But if you use the same users who cant understand dodge as the use case ,Then good bye hud because those same use cases im talking about dont get how to use hud. But they understood dodge.

So please leave it as a disabled option , or could someone submit a patch to put it back in and i can put it back in.
I know how to apply a patch.

The users im talking about are my father and sister,and they are nice people not complainers ,its more dissapointed than anything.
