Mac users: what's in your Dock?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I also like a clean desktop, so I set it for auto hide.
And as a former PC guy, I never really cared for too many icons in the dock (or taskbar as the case may be)
So I keep only my daily icons:
Firefox, Thunderbird, 1Password, Sketchbox, iCal
and my trio of editors: Coda, Esperesso and Smultron
I haven't been able to decide on one editor for all needs on the Mac yet (on the PC it was emeditor)
For all my other apps, I made a shortcut folder with subfolders for categories like Image, Video, Utilities, etc. and put shortcuts to my apps in there.
The result is something similar to the Windows Start menu.

M$I have really found that in your dock, you only need your most used applications (In mine, I open up all of them daily(well only 1 web browser and one text editer)), and then the stacks let you acces some applications you use from time to time, like photoshop, imovie, iphoto etc... Even though iphoto might migrate to my main dock very soon.
Where do you keep your dock?? (like what side of the screen?)
I find the right side to be the best because the only thing it can get in the way of is the scrollbar, but I never use the scroll bar (two finger scrolling!!!).
The bottom is the more classic aproach, but it gets in the way of some buttons (think the bottom of itunes). And the right side gets in the way of the exit, minimize and maximize buttons.
Then again I am on a macbook so the screen is small, I could see my dock on the bottom with a 20-24 inch screen.
Cheers!!
Me, myself and I
