you could use windows-style small icons instead of ones made for blind people.

How many apps to you use that regularly that they need to be in the dock all the time? If it's an app I don't use at least once every 1-3 days, it gets the chop.
Besides for those apps that aren't in the dock, it's very quick to just start typing the apps name into spotlight or quicksilver...

Quicksilver.

Why do you use that FTP app (the one with the truck icon – can't remember its name, but I used to have it) when you can FTP from Dreamweaver? Dump it. Word and Excel – do you really use them so much that it needs to be in the dock? Toss 'em. Quark? No, no, no. Outta here. PSC, NBK & DEV? I don't know what those are. Get rid of them. That weird eye in the blue diamond icon reminds me of the logo that Time/Warner flirted with a while back. Lose that too.
I've cleaned up some of the clutter in your dock. Of course, you can sweep it under the rug like I do (option-command D).

whats the real benefit of using quicksilver as an app launcher over spotlight? I know quicksilver does more than just launch apps... but if all i want is an app launcher, isn't spotlight the ticket, or am I missing something?

Dock dividers help...

Same as everyone else here.
- I keep my apps folder in my dock.
- Usually I just type it into Spotlight. So fast and easy!

Jesus, really?
That's like asking "I have a fridge full of food. Does anyone know if I can make some dinner?"
