If misc windows (Output, Search Results etc) dock bar can reuse (that is, placed on) Netbeans main status bar, then vertical usable screen size will be much wider. Vertical screen spaces are so dear, and Netbeans has make a great effort to reach this goal - Full screen mode introduced in 6.0, which saves 2 "line" of vertical spaces (Menu bar and Toolbar). I think it is worth to do. Attachment are Netbeans 6.0 current window dock bar layout and Eclipse's layout.
