So, there is the question. What is your answer?

Bottom now, but I used to have it on the left after the 10.1 update, just because I could.
I also used to hide it but not anymore as it gets annoying when I put the mouse there but don't actually want the dock.
I was thinking of starting a poll on this topic myself, as I was interested, but was worried that people would flame me if it had been done already.

I have it over on the right.
I'm running a dual display with the secondary monitor to the left.

Color me boring, but it's: Bottom, not hid. I think that the location is just a throwback from my Windows days. For me it's like Pavlov's Dogs - when my apps are open I simply expect to see them at the bottom somewhere (in other words, I left the 'Start' bar where it was on the Windows platform too).
W00t. I think I get change back on .02 cents for that one. :D

I have my transparant dock left, no auto-hide.
If it gets in the way, I cmd-alt-d to hide it.

I have mine along the bottom, with no hiding, but pegged to the right-hand corner. If i had it on either of the sides, the icons would be too small to make out.

I have my dock position as def. from OS X. I have the opacity set to 0 percent. (Uh, transparency = 100 percent. :p)

mines on the left starting at the top via tinkertool...ie, it is not centred on the left...apart from that, its just the standard colours 'cause I haven't gotten around to transparing docking it...

I got mine to the left...autohide on...and transparent...
I hate a cluttered desktop...and now that I can hide my hard drive...it's virtually clutter-free! :D
btw..like that on my Ti & on my G4 at work...although the workstation always has stuff everywhere...kinda hard when it's a production system... ;)
