What is the best desktop environment for readability?
Would say Gnome 3 or Unity though it also depends on how font rendering is handled and all that crap.
That over there doesn't look bad but it's buggy, it comes from money-grubbing cunts and it's fairly slow.

Why do people use a dock on the bottom of the screen in a time where vertical real estate is a prime resource?
Xfce just enter your monitor's dpi and use a good fonts.conf

it auto-hides
or should

Been wondering this. I use an ultrawide monitor, usually I have either docks or taskbars at the side.
"It looks bad" sure but I consider it better on the side.

i dont like it because of the navigation buttons place in most browsers if it is full height size
but my tint2 is vertical auto hides but is 80% of the monitor height
i think horizontal feels more sane and comfy for most people

because os x uses it that way and what is linux gonna do except copy os x and windows?

Anything with black text on a white background

Horizontal real-estate is more valuable. Columns >>>> lines. Horizontal scrolling = ass.

It's way faster than Gnome 3 and Unity.

Animations wise? I'm sorry but no way. Those are sluggish as hell.

Still better than "immersive"

Why do people use a dock?

immersion is awesome, everything I do is immersive
If you want to actually get shit done: OS X
If you want to be a 'cool kid' using <insert *NIX distro> constantly debugging and end up rewriting the OS yourself: OpenBox
Depends on the fonts you use.

comfy

It depends, I guess. I do have a bit of a soft spot for Unity and GNOME 3 as >>54423053 says, but at the same time I tend to like the simple ones. The one you've shown looks quite nice, but I also like MATE, of all things.
I wish I could change the DE for Windows.

It's shit even in OSX. The only reason why it's kinda tolerable is because they stick to 16:10 displays

>horizontal scrolling
That's what word wrap is for.
