Re: Why?

I think there have been studies done that show that (especially right handed) computer users spend most of the time with the mouse on the right half and bottom half of the screen. Since this is where the dock resides, it is actually faster and more convenient.

The other reason I believe it gives faster access to the files is because once I place the folder in the dock, I simply right click and the files are right above the mouse; I don't have to navigate to the sub-menu.

As for the dock having a big job...I only keep the apps I use most often down there, not every app that I have installed on my computer. I also tend to open the same documents often, so I want them in the dock with everything else.
