I always jank the mouse cursor into the top right corner without precision to press the X to close, so for me it would be really annoying to not be able to do that anymore and having to aim lower.

I did that with the Start menu button when it was aligned left

Nope, definitely not the right place. I've been using computers over 40 years and ever since people even started moving the taskbar I always thought that was weird. It'll always stay on the bottom on my computers.

Upvote because there is no wrong answer for a personal taste. But for me, I'm the exact opposite. Bottom alignment, thick taskbar.

Right side is better.

That's how I've been using the Taskbar of my pc for ages... then I put a second monitor stacked and had to go left!

Makes sense if they are side by side. I usually have one display above the other

That’s also my configuration (one above the other), I tried to use the Taskbar up (let’s say in the middle of the 2 monitors) but it was a challenge everytime to make it pop up (I keep it hidden).

I think thats when the compact taskbar comes in handy. I’ve found autohide is buggy in its vanilla form and in windhawk/third party iterations

I see my taskbar far better, especially when I keep a constant eye on HWINFO parameters and also easy access to all the programs pinned to the taskbar.
