The corners can be used as hotspots however. For example, bottom right to lock the screen. Not brilliant but not without function. The dock is terrible. I edited a config file to have mine as small as possible and then auto-hide it. Also never use Mission Control or whatever the launcher grid screen is called. Spotlight set only to show apps and client directories does everything I need.
