It seems to me that a lot of people put all their programs in the dock :( Which looks really cluttered! Personally i'd rather keep it down to 8 or so, and use spotlight for everything else.
I agree wholeheartedly, but try Quicksilver. It's a much better launcher than Spotlight... :)

I've given that a short go before, but didn't really get on with it. I guess i could try again though :)

I only keep apps that are generally on all the time in my dock. The rest are called from quicksilver.

Finder, Path Finder, Safari, Flock (experimenting with it), Endo, MarsEdit (might drop since textmate now supports blogging), Mail, SpamSieve (best spam filter ever), iCal, iChat, Adium, Transmit, Font ExplorerX, Textmate (<3), Terminal (invoked via Visor)

Out of curiosity if you use the apps daily, why FCP and FCE :confused:
That dock is on the ibook - FCP for some heavy stuff, needing the features only available in FCP - and for quick stuff, like just cropping a movie quickly, I use FCE to do the job, lighter on the ibook so it's faster.

Here is mine on my iBook:
Dock.png


Apps are Finder, Dashboard, Safari, Microsoft Messenger, Entourage, Word, Excel, Keynote, Pages, Quicktime, Lightroom Beta 3 (just to fiddle with), Photoshop 7, Corel Painter Essentials 2, Maya PLE and MotionBuilder PLE (I'm teaching myself these 2), iTunes, TextWrangler, Fetch, Calculator, Grapher (Fun to play with when bored and useful in Math class), System Optimizer X, Activit Monitor, System Preferences. And they magnify to about twice the size.

I tried keeping my dock simple, but for one I like it to have lots of stuff in it (don't ask me why) and I'm too lazy to be bothered to even use Spotlight to find things. So the things in this dock are primarily thing I use a couple times a week at least.

Oh, though you would use the iMac for FCP....

Well here is my dock, I used to have a lot of items in it but have gone to a more clean dock, only have apps that I use often in it now, other I use Spotlight for ;)
