KERRALA  Dragthing is one of those apps you either love or hate because it dictates the way you interact with your Mac.

I am glad I spent the time setting it up how I like because now I can't live without it.

The developer is fantastically responsive too!  (Version 5.9.2)

CORPSECORPS  I'm another of those folks who used this heavily way back. I registered version 2, upgraded to 4, and then 5 but haven't used since a couple OS's ago.

I've used various launchers, finder substitutes, hot-key gizmos, and the like. I'm a digital pack-rat and organizational disaster area.

Apple's new Leopard features like their pathetic "stacks" weren't going to do much for me.

With 21.13 GB and 36,469 items just in my desktop folder, i decided it was time to give Dragthing another try in order to bring some order to the chaos.

When i opened it up, Dragthing looked very familiar, yet so much more capable even than before. I'm very happy to find out my old registrations still function!

As people have said in much earlier reviews, though it takes some significant time and effort to set it up when first run, the capabilities and variety of ways it can be used and configured to suit any particular user are flat out STAGGERING!

If you can't make it suit you as an organizer/launcher, you looked examined it closely enough.

The only reasons i can't say it's solved my problem is the magnitude of the problem. It really is the Rolls Royce of organizational tools.   (Version 5.9.1)

MIKEEVANGELIST  DragThing is the second thing I install on any new Mac (right after Quickeys). It is flexible, powerful, fast and stable. It puts you back in charge of your Mac. Don't be bossed around by the Dock; with DragThing you can have the functionality and appearance that -you- like.

Be sure to explore all the different themes and options; the range of possible configurations is staggering.

Incredibly useful.  (Version 5.9)
