For office work I auto start and minimize the programs I know will be needed at some point in the day. Admittedly, it’s not as pretty as the commercial versions for sure but it works.

This is geared more towards people who have many applications/folders/shortcuts they want to keep together. Quick Launch is a great feature but having multiple docks works better for me sorting through dozens of programs and go-to folders.

This has been a feature ever since Windows 98 I think, and the only thing it doesn't do is show which apps are currently open. Just wondering if installing yet another app is really needed when the OS already has this functionality?
