You have quite a few customization options, although some things don’t work in this version quite as I expected. We mustn’t forget that this is a fairly early Beta version, yet it still delivers on almost everything it offers and quite well.
At no point did it give me the feeling of consuming many resources, unlike other similar utilities.
It presents itself as a replacement for the Mac Dock, but to my surprise, it includes many other features that might be considered more Finder-like than Dock-like, such as the window switcher or the Launchpad, although the latter felt a bit clunky—I tested it with a mouse and not with the trackpad, which it might work better with.
In any case, of all the Dock replacement options I have tested so far on the channel, I would venture to say it is the one that has run the smoothest.
