DragonDrop is intended to reintroduce some of the functionality lost with the death of tabbed windows. We all remember tabbed windows, who trod the Classic paths. We could drag an open window to the bottom of the screen, and a title-tab peeked up, readily displaying its contents at a click or a drag, and collapsing to insignificance at the slightest thought of dismissal.
Some used the tabs for quick-launching their favoritest of applications and documents, others for drop boxes or to get things out of the way.
They're back, sort of.

Opinions:
Has an annoying bug (on 10.4.10): icons size isn't remembered after restarting, it always goes back to some unreadable size, like 1×1 pixels.
Folders open in the Finder instead of opening in DragonDrop, making it less useful as an app launcher. I could the turning triangles to expand folders, but big icons are easier to reach.
I might use it to browse my music albums and launch them in Play, as they are sorted by genre\subgenre\artist\album...
(I wish I could disable the 'date' column, though.)
