It’s a beautiful app with a long and glorious history. If you want something with more power and usefulness than the Dock, but aren’t into keyboard launchers, then DragThing is the thing for you.

For instance, it could look more like this: Ian Beck’s More Better List of 35 Essential Mac AppsĬategories: Blogosphere, General Computing, Images, Internet, Web Design, Workflow, Writing, Extraneous, and Runners Up Personally, I think the list could be a lot better.
