- For something with a little complexity that I need to use regularly, apps or browser tabs are fine.
- For little scraps of updating info like weather or reminders, menubar items and emails are better.
- For searches (bookmarks, email messages, addresses, etc) I'd rather use Quicksilver or Spotlight.
I just don't see the point of jumping into "Dashboard mode" to use it's phantom second desktop. Everything it can do I already have covered by something better. There really are better things for Apple to work to replace besides Konfabulator (cough.. Excel.. cough).
