i still don't like the dock...i never use it...it's like a popularity contest for applications and files..."you made the big show, you're in the dock now"...os9 style, if you know how to setup the apple menu items properly (which can be done in osx), suits me just fine...

except you can't drag onto items in the Apple Menu

Jason's only Dock complaint is this: "One of the worst usability aspects of the Dock is that it's anchored in the middle. So when you launch an app that you don't already have in the Dock or minimize a window, it shifts everything over and messes with your muscle memory."

I hate that, too. That's why I use Tinkertool . It lets you set the start position of the Dock along with other nice changes including transparent icons for hidden applications.

True, but there's this great little utility called FruitMenu from Unsanity that lets you add items to the Apple Menu by right-clicking on them. Also lets you customize the Apple Menu a milion ways to Sunday. It's one of the few bits of OS X shareware I've actually paid for so far...that, and the aforementioned TinkerTool.
