Shortly after I posted this here, DragThing became the official upgrade path for DropDrawers and DropDrawers frozen. I switched, and am getting used to it. DragThing can do pretty much the same stuff (and more) but there are little UI differences that I liked better in DropDrawers. Oh well.

Honestly, I have no idea if this is likely ever to be updated again. I believe that it has only undergone minimal compatibility updates now and again, and the last one was two years ago. It happens to still work, and I use it because by now I feel like I always have and I got used to it. I havent used DragThing since Mac OS 9 (though I used it quite a bit back then). I like being able to basically put "docks" in various parts of the screen and access them via a gesture rather than taking the extra mouse click to switch to the right pane on DragThing. I make use of the process dock absolutely all the time. It's not clear that if I didn't already own it I'd go out and buy it now, but it's become comfortable for me to have around.

how many reasons are there to use this over dragthing? the only one i can think of is saving nine bucks. and i'd gladly pay those to get an app in return that does not still look like a classic app converted to osx 10.0.
