I absolutely agree, wxAui is easier on the brain when used a lot, 
compared with the brain's language bits having to process wxDocking. 
wxAui has quite a pleasing shape to it, and it will be easily recognised 
when scanning through code compared with something more verbose. Plus, 
if people do a web search for wxAui, they'll get the right thing. With 
wxDocking, they'll get a number of different things.

wxAui please!

Thanks,

Julian
