I only actually use empty trash in the dock, but I agree that these work great with Quicksilver.

well... i don't use dockables in the dock, per se, but i find that they're a handy tie-in to quicksilver

i agree with ocm and bitnix... there are easy enough to remember key commands for almost anything dockables offers, or otherwise i can get there with two clicks at the most. so why waste dock space for this? i like to keep my dock clean.

at least it's free, so i can't blame it for being a rip-off ;)

Here's one up for ocm's comment.

(Dockables looks nice and all, but again, I also find this a bit overkill. Maybe expanding its functions by making it do something more unique/advanced/exotic would make it more useable. Right now, the operations is performs, does not weigh up against the easyness of carrying out the same commands by other means. Sorry for sounding sceptical, but that's my opinion as it stands right now.)

Is it really worth wasting dock space for things like this ?
In my opinion its not.
