> Dock at the bottom (both Windows and Mac) -> Dock on the left
Yeah, I did that quite a while ago and have found it great on my laptop but I've just started using a 1900x1200 monitor and am starting to think about switching back.
I hardly use the Dock since there are utilities like Spotlight/AlfredApp/LaunchBar/Quicksilver, so I auto-hide it. I'm using an external 1440x900 side-by-side with my built-in 1440x900, but if I even get a tall enough built-in LCD, I'd still leave the Dock on the left. There's never enough vertical space for code for most programming languages.
I guess laptop-only -> laptop + external mon counts too.
