AWN Ekes Out a Win in the Battle of the Dock Apps

"My newfound favorite computing app is the desktop dock. Over the last few weeks, I freed myself of dependence on the desktop icon to find and launch the programs I use every day. My search for the ideal docking app came to a halt with Avant Window Navigator, also known as "AWN."

"I was ready to settle down with GNOME Do and its handy Docky option (see my review here). But I decided to check out AWN and SimDock first.

"The additional effort was time well spent. SimDock was a big disappointment. AWN is very similar to GNOME Do. But its few more bells and whistles pushed me into choosing it over GNOME Do."
