I'm an old user of Turleys little launcher finderPop and running
OSX you miss it. But you have filled the gap quite nicely with piPop. It
makes me more productive with OSX.

I've been using it for about 2 months now, and have come to find it
indispensable. I like leaving my dock as uncluttered as possible, and this
helps.

piDock shines in many ways. Perhaps the most alluring touch is the
scrolling mechanism used in long hierarchical lists--it's quite ingenious.
Say you're navigating through a folder that contains more items than will
fit on your screen. The Finder simply adds up & down arrows at the top and
bottom of the list. When you reach the bottom you have to move the mouse
all the way to the top before you can begin to scroll up. piDock is much
more intelligent, pushing the list down as you move the cursor up from the
very bottom. Very effective and very smart.
