Poll: Do you Show or Hide the Dock?

Okay, so another weird question from me, but I thought it might be interesting to see what the community prefer.

What I mean by this is, do you always have the dock showing, or do you go to the bottom or side of the screen and bring it out when you need it (and let it disappear into the mist of off screen when not in use)?

Since OS X started, I've hidden it down the bottom (never had it on the sides)

I always have mine showing, but I keep it small - I think it looks ugly if it takes up too much of the screen, and it gets in the way.

Until I get a 30" LCD, I'll continue to have the dock hidden.

At home I always have it shown (at the bottom), unless I'm using Logic.

At work I usually have it hidden. I always used to have it shown (I also felt lost without it), but lately have been getting used to having it hidden.

I only have a 12" screen so I keep mine hidden.

Although even if I had a 30" screen I would still keep it hidden.

Always hidden. If I need something, I'm going down that way anyway. No need for it to be on view all the time.

Always visible, as small as possible, always along the bottom, for what it's worth.
