I asked Marco if he employs any interesting strategies for keeping his apps, windows, and the like organized. The only apps in my own Dock are ones that I leave running all day long if I don’t run an app all day every day, I punt it from the Dock with prejudice. Various apps have taken up permanent residence in Marco’s Dock: Apple’s Mail, Safari, Messages, Calendar, iTunes, Terminal, and Xcode MacroMates’ $55 But every time I try switching to a side Dock, I get frustrated and wind up restoring it to the same (stupid) bottom position where it started. A compelling argument can be made for putting the Dock on the side: Apple’s displays are all widescreen, so making your Dock encroach on width instead of the comparatively smaller height makes sense.


Like me, Marco leaves his Dock on-screen at all times-but his sits along the left side of his Mac.
