Multidock, docking, and the "new" synth rack - a bit of a long rant

Blades
I have seen a few posts about similar things over time, but none have seemed to garner the answers that I'm looking for.  My issue is with the tendency of views wanting to open on the MutilDock and the MultiDock insisting on being docked in the same window with my track view.  Here are a few observations:
 

1. The MultiDock is docked on my main monitor under the track view by default - It doesn't matter what I do with the dock during the session or if I save the song, if I close it, it opens back up in the docked position instead of where I left it, which is usually floating on my second display.  I understand that I can hit the letter D (for "D"ock, I suppose) to send the dock to a small "Windows 3.1-like minimized window", but that sits right on top of the status area, hiding the "display" option, and yes, I realize that I can move it to some other area down there, but REALLY?  This is a simple UI thing that I just don't think should work this way.  I want it to remember where it was open before.  I don't want to have to create a special screenset for every possible combination of things (or now a Lens maybe) - assuming that would even resolve this.  I just want it to remember where I put it and open up back there again.  [KA] Supposed to persist the last position.  We'll investigate.
2. It is only that I've been able to move the "minimized" MultiDock to the lower part of my SECOND monitor that I think I might be able to adapt to it, but it seems like a silly adaptation.
3. I am reluctant to want anything to go into the MultiDock because of issue #1 above.  I would rather things all just float if the end result them going to the Dock is that they are non-floating.  I want them to float.  I don't really care If they float individually or as tabs in the dock as LONG AS THEY FLOAT!  I might otherwise adopt using the MultiDock, but as it is right now, this dock only seems to mean more clicks every time I use it. [KA] Each individual view can be undocked which should be able to be saved in the project in that state.
4. The "new" Synth Rack view has a similar problem, but not inside the MultiDock.  It opens in the right docked position by default.  I have assigned a key on my Macro Keyboard (Logitech G900, which is quite awesome, by the way) to press the otherwise somewhat awkward ctrl-shift-s combo.  So I use it to launch and close the Synth rack with a single keypress.  Like the MultiDock, I want it to remember what I told it to do.  It doesn't.  I hit the Key, SynthRack launches, I tell it to float and move it to my second monitor.  I then hit the key to toggle it closed.  I hit key again and it opens back docked to the side of the main window.  Granted, once I put it in the MultiDock and close it, it remembers THAT position, but refer to #1 above for my frustration with the MultiDock. [KA]  We identified this issue as a bug in the persistence.  It's just been fixed and will be in the 2016.12 update.
5. Back to the MultiDock frustration: if I succumb to the change of just dealing with the "D" key to minimize the dock and whatever windows might be in it, then my ability to recall the SynthRack (or any other window that is docked there for that matter) becomes rendered moot.  In other words: hit the ctrl-shift-s to get the Synth Rack, put it in the MultiDock, hit "D" to minimize the dock and its contents, now hit ctrl-shift-s again - right, the MultiDock does not open because it doesn't know the SynthRack is in there and so the answer is that you need to hit D to open the Dock and then find the tab where the Synth Rack is (are there keys for switching between these tabs?).  Used to be a simple "b" for browser (which I used to leave open on the second screen), now I can either lose it in the MultiDock or I can deal with it docking to the side of the main monitor and taking up my screen real estate on the track view, or manually undock it ever time I want to use it. [KA] This also sounds like a bug.  It's supposed to appear with the focused tab.
