A Mac user's dock is a sacred place. We customize our dock to no end, and if you're ultra organized like me, you even use dock separators to group your app icons.
Apple recently implemented a feature which displays three recently used apps in the dock. For basic users that's reasonable, but for power users like us, it's an annoyance.
