>>56871555
Quite often, actually. Try pinning all 15-20 applications you use to your taskbar. It's a mess, and you can't easily tell whether something is open or not. It's the same problem OS X or Unity has, a separate dock is a much better setup. You can just set it to automatically hide and reappear when you move your cursor to the edge of your screen.

It is in every way a better method of getting shit done, but it's not like you'd think of that since you probably don't have a job

18 year olds where 8 when Vista came out you old fart. How does it feel like knowing you are that much closer to the sweet embrace of death?

>>56871652
Yeah, a 2 pixel high blue outline that may not even be visible from the angle you're looking from. It also doesn't account for instances when things open 3-4 separate windows with different icons, and shit gets shuffled around. You also can't tell what the title of a minimized window is without enabling "never combine", which adds a completely new layer of bullshit that moves your icons around so you can't easily find the thing you want. Or tell how many applications you have open without going down the list and individually counting each one of them. Separating the dock and the taskbar allows you to use either for their dedicated purpose, managing active windows vs opening new ones.

>>56871318

Why would anyone do this? Just pin what you use the MOST often and then put the rest in the start menu. Windows 10, for all it's faults, makes it piss easy to keep dozens of programs very easy to access quickly

That picture you used for comparison is very unfair because that's entirely different setup. Yes, it looks cluttered. But that is not how running programs are handled by default since Windows 7.

Take a look at attached picture. At the bottom is my taskbar I've snapped just now. Few other programs are open on 2nd screen so they don't show up, but you get the idea.

You could save even more space by using smaller icons, which Windows taskbar lets you.

If you honestly can't tell what is open and what's not, then you really are retarded.

>Why would anyone do this?
Because they use 15-20 applications regularly? I can understand your reasoning if all you use is a web and a file browser, but some people might want to do actual work on their computers, as outrageous as that sounds. Also, if you're just going to use a separate method of launching most of your applications anyways, why bother with pinning shit? Chances are the applications you'd want pinned are already OPEN, and the ones you'd need to access side by side would be less common ones that you'd put into a start menu. At which point you are literally just using a dock, that happens to be activated by clicking a corner of your screen or pressing a button. And no, typing into your start menu is not faster than hovering over to an icon and clicking it.

Nobody who is sane uses more than like 10 of the same applications EVERY day.
But regardless, pinning that many apps to any dock will make it cluttered as fuck. If someone is pinning dozens of programs like a madman is worried about clicking on the wrong thing, having a separate dock won't really help much.

>>56871969
Nobody in their right mind consistently uses 20 active applications on a daily basis, unless their life is a fucking mess. How many jobs do people need to work these days? I could see 5, or even 10, if your job entails A LOT of different daily responsibilities. But that is one fucking complicated workflow my man. There must be a way to simplify that down.

> if you're just going to use a separate method of launching most of your applications anyways, why bother with pinning shit?

Stuff that is almost guaranteed to be used daily = pinned
Stuff that is used every few days or maybe weekly = hidden in start menu.
And if someone uses only a few programs daily, they can add weekly stuff to the dock. Simple as fuck.

>At which point you are literally just using a dock, that happens to be activated by clicking a corner of your screen or pressing a button

That would be using one dock (super bar) and one application launch menu (start). Pretty simple, and doesn't require a separate program wasting cpu cycles and ram that saves very little time and effort.

And the person who uses their superdock as a window list, because "submenus are complicated"... I refuse to believe this person isn't 55. I haven't seen anyone actually to use a computer this way since Windows 7 was being launched.

Does anybody remember this image editing program that ran on Windows 98; it was fullscreen with a alien/fantasy style dashboard interface and you started with a psychedelic landscape and could drag wizards, ufos and effects onto the base image. Everytime you dragged an element it made weird psychedelic and ambient sounds. I can't find anything about it and I'm starting to doubt my memory of it.

Sir we gotta talk about the number of programs you use at once. What on fucking earth are you doing that warrants more than 7-8 decent programs that NEED to stay up concurrently?

When I was 7 years old or so and living in the U.S. with my parents (we are German), I printed out pictures of topless women and took them to school. The teachers went completely nuts, had me suspended for 2 weeks, called my parents etc.

My mother looks at the picture and asks “What's supposed to be wrong with them? They're just topless”. Cue stunned ameriprudes.

We don't understand it to this day. How can americans flip their shit about something as natural as breastfeeding in public? Meanwhile in some parts of europe it's even normal to e.g. be naked in the saunsa together with your friends or siblings, whereas in 'murka they try to put bikinis on toddlers

>Millennials (also known as Generation Y) are the demographic cohort following Generation X. There are no precise dates for when this cohort starts or ends; demographers and researchers typically use starting birth years ranging from the late 1970s to early 1980s and ending birth years ranging from the mid-1990s to early 2000s.

You're a millennial.
