I also propose to reconsider the position of the dock. Now it's on the right of the canvas but below the toolbars. I think it would make sense to expand it upwards so it would be on the right of all the toolbars and the menu bar, shortening them. The right end of the menu bar is always wasted anyway; as for the toolbars, all of them are now squeezable without any loss of functionality (a drop-down replaces those items that didn't fit). Similarly, I think the dock should be on the right of the palette at bottom - but still on top of the statusbar as now, because it's difficult to read statusbar messages when statusbar becomes too short. All this should give the dock a lot more vertical space which is valuable.
I personally like being in control of that myself. For many UI's, I end up arranging things differently than other users, so I hate to get locked into specific locations for things.
Eclipse, IntelliJ, DevStudio, etc, are just a few of them
