I added an Applications stack to the dock, as well as folder shortcuts for my Downloads folder and other frequently used folders. I also organize my icons by type in the Dock. I agree with Max.

Better simple dock - if you don't want the reflective Leopard dock and you're not too keen on how the simple dock looks, there are alternatives. One of my favourites to use is "Mirage dock". Mirage dock removes all of the background images of the dock, leaving you with just icons and indicators. It means that your dock can look great with any background. You can get the installer/uninstaller package for Mirage dock at <a href="http://www.dockulicious.com/docks/view/mirage" title="download it here" rel="nofollow">this page</a>. - The preview on the site doesn't do it enough justice, it really is great.
