Personally, I'd rather there be alternative ways (or shareware apps) that deal with what a minority of users want than continue to bloat the OS for stuff that the majority of people just aren't going to use.
And in reverse, I wish Apple would incorporate a few apps such as SideTrack (for laptops) and DejaMenu into the OS.

I agree with #2 and #3: we need to be able to make better use of our screen estate.

Decado,
Heck, whadda y'know.. works...Thanks!
Actually, I don't use the dock because you can't use spring-loaded folders to drop a document into a folder 3 levels deep.. but I do use WorkStrip (the alt-apple key works there as well), which is a whole lot more flexible.. especially with a large library of art.. I can preview files quickly from pop-open menus.. works almost as nicely as folder tabs did in OS9....
