I myself do not and find it a pain moving it out of the way all the time but I see in 8.5 Steinberg is still focusing on improving the floating transport panel.
Why I ask is I’d like to see all of the floating transport options available to have up top as an option.
Just a thought. 
Show your support for this suggestion. Thanks
Regards 
I do. I’m used to it since 4.
FYI
The suggestion is for an option to be able to perform the functions on the transport panel from the top toolbar. So, this suggestion would have no impact on those who like to use the transport panel.
Options are good 
Regards
