I second this totally.

I would like in the Dock:

1. Pop-Up folders. Those things were just so damn handy in OS8 and OS9. While the right-click folder aliases in the Dock are a bit of that, they don't have spring loading and they aren't real folders. Give us Pop-up folders.

2. I think it would be very practical to have the Trash available in the metal Finder side bar. While it has become second nature to just Cmd-Backspace on items I don't want, I do often enough drag things from the Finder window to the Trash in the Dock. Having the Trash in the side bar would be very handy.

3. This would simply be an idea of presentation, so I doubt it would ever get implemented, is that I would love it if the running applications could have a better indicator than a little black arrow in them. Perhaps giving running apps a little background halo would be neat.

4. what would be nnicer than having to pin the Dock somewhere, would be to be able to drag it wherever one wanted to, like a tool palette.

5. I like the idea of having some kind of bay where all running windows are drawn.
