It'll be interesting to see how many ppl out there change the position of their dock and place it on the left or right edge of the screen.. And how many of you guys minimize your dock to maximize screen real estate?
I've had problems with minimizing, takes too long when things aren't running properly, and I'm used to flicking the mouse towards the bottom of the screen, so I leave everything with the default.
I do modify the dock in other ways often enough, but things like changing the background or icons, but other than that it's stock.
My dock is on the left side of the screen. There's no option for that (mine's on the side, not the corner). Not miniaturized; none of that wavy-motion when I mouse over.
I've experimented with it being at the left and right, bottom is easiest. I dislike hiding the Dock, I like to see what I've got running and if there is any new Mail.
