If you hate Unity and have switched to Xubuntu, how is moving the Launcher going to do anything for you? Pick the distro/desktop enviro you like best. I'm assuming Xubuntu isn't perfect or you wouldn't be posting here. Nothing's perfect. So just accept the decision for now. =)

To everyone else: Mr. Shuttleworth has acknowledged that he has heard this request and said it's a Won't Fix. Maybe he'll change his mind in the future, maybe not. But if he does it will probably be based on Research that shows a reason to change it.

I originally wished for the Launcher to be moveable. But after using it on the left for a while I've found the intelligent hide behavior has made it a non-issue. I actually prefer it on the left now as long as it can dodge windows.

Make a choice, use Unity how it is or switch distros. But my advice is give the current status quo a chance with an open mind. Don't judge, just use. Maybe you'll change your mind, maybe you won't. I changed my mind.

I have trust that Shuttleworth is making good decisions based on research. So yield and try to give an honest chance and give it some time to mature.

Based on use, I have come to the realization that I like Unity better than any other desktop UI (Windows, Mac, or Linux). I'm sure others will develop the same affinity. But you got to let some preconceptions go and accept things for how they are. Your voice has been registered and acknowledged. So I suggest putting your energy in exploring the new desktop enviros that Linux is offering with an open mind and finding what you like and trying to use things in the new way. Although maybe an adjustment at first you might find you like it pretty well. This was my realization.
