So what tablet features are there? A plethora of keyboard shortcuts? How about the search-able Dash and HUD, both accessed with a few key strokes?

Dunno about you, but these are huge wins on the desktop for me.

Having a dash and a HUD have absolutely NOTHING to do with being able to place a dock where you need it. Maybe you don't have good spacial memory, or maybe I don't have adequate keyboard-app-launching-magical-fingers, but I seriously doubt that people are getting any more work done than I do with a dock on the bottom of the screen.

Then use Docky or Cairo dock. I personally don't know why having it to one side is a problem, I don't have a problem adapting to UI changes. A dock on the left or bottom is hardly worth thinking about.
