To be pedantic, you can see the dash/dock when you hit the super key, I don't believe anyone actually uses the hot corner. Also to be pedantic, there are plenty of desktops that don't use a dock, in the form of most window managers. I'm currently running opnebox with no dock and it's totally fine, though the approach is better suited to tiling window managers.

It's a completely unnecessary extra action the completely breaks your flow.

  I'm a GNOME user and almost never use its dock directly. I have my typical programs added as favorites on the dock and switch to them directly via keyboard with meta + 1 through meta + 9. Seldom used applications don't make that cut, but they're... seldom used. I tend to switch to them using alt-tab rather than clicking through on the dock. In general, I prefer using the keyboard, so I have never once wished that a dock was more prominent in GNOME. I'm glad it stays out of my way until I explicitly summon it with a keypress.

  The power of window managers. Use whatever floats your boat. I love i3wm too much and its the exact reason I love Linux

Funny, the hot corner is my favourite thing in Gnome. I like the dock on the left of my screen and I'm happy that there is ways so everyone can customize this the way they want.

  Same here, I find myself swinging my mouse to the top left whenever I am helping my mother on her laptop with Windows.

I love the hot corner. In some distributions this behaviour is disabled and I always turn it back on to the point that I automatically make the gesture on other operating systems as well. When I'm browsing on my laptop, I often end up with my finger on the touchpad. A quick swipe to the top left is quicker than moving my hand to the super key. On desktop, a low-precision swing of the mouse is also quicker than moving my fingers to the super key. I don't get the hate the hot corner gets. All in all, I honestly don't really care about the changes they made to the dock. As long as my shortcut buttons work, I can deal with some small changes if they improve the polish of the system overall. I like the Gnome aesthetics that improve with every version, so I'm open to the tweaks made in Gnome 40.

  I find the new thee-finger swipe really cool and intuitive.
