I keep my OS X dock on the left side of the screen so this won’t really mean much to me long-term, but the new dock design in Mountain Lion is much nicer. I played around with it for a bit on my MacBook Air, and one nice change is even though it still reflects things on the screen like a jackass, the effect is far subtler.

Agreed. It is much nicer — though I too am a left-edge dock kind of guy. High-res
