I think Latte-Dock has been unmaintained for some time now. It's a dead project and maybe doesn't even work properly with Plasma 6. So it's a good time to drop it.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

There actually is a new maintainer (goes by Lana Black) and some recent activity seems to be working on Plasma 6 support FWIW. But the new panel additions seem to be closing the gap as well!
If you're on Plasma 6, there's practically no reason to use it either way. The modern panels have all the same functionality, at least from my experience
Definitely not all of the same functionality. Latte Dock was a rather huge dock program out of all of the ones available. I believe they added two or three of the major features though. Which is good enough for most.
I'm not on Plasma 6 yet. I'm undecided whether I should do the switch as it defaulta to wayland, but Wayland seems to be not the best choice right now.
First of all, before you get any wrong impressions/opinions, try it out for yourself. But also, just because the Wayland session is set as default, it doesn't mean you cannot choose the other
Hm, that's sad. But I'd rather have it not just vanish, though. Is there a good replacement?
The default Plasma Panel does most of what Latte Dock did.
