Mac Application Launchers
Most Mac users feel that Application launcher is the most essential Application for them to install. Application launcher can save our valuable Dock spaces and assist us in boosting our productivity.

The only thing that frustrates me is that the development team seems to be ignoring the unstability issue on Leopard.
