That's why I don't autohide them. I also like to have applications I use regularly easily accessible - and it's that lot of icons you see in the screen-shot. Also I don't like nearly empty panel - it's boring. And of course I like some of the panel applets. And last, but not least, I find 6 virtual desktops to be just the right number for me. And after many iterations I ended up with a layout like you saw. I have nice big icons, bottom panel with sort of macy style (semi-transparent background). It looks even more awesome with compositing enabled (but I don't use compositing for various purposes). And fast access to everything I use from notify, through trash, quick launch and virtual desktop switcher, through network monitor and window list to gnome menu :-D And it occupies as much space as I find nice... Also, which is not seen on the screen shot, in the bottom right corner when I attach an usb drive, or put an optical media in, disk mounter applet with fast access to basic actions like open/eject/unmount appears. Only one thing that my current layout lacks is a fancy top panel, but I don't mind the plain colour one much and I am too lazy to make it look otherwise :-D But as you said, it's a matter of taste.
