My best utility in OS X

For years Ive been waiting to see this kind of utility appear for OS X, Ive used a similar one (forgot the name, something with Drop…) in OS 9. Also in OS 9 you could slam a folder against the bottom of the screen and you would have a tab sticking up with quick access to that folder. But no dice in OS X until TabLauncher for OS X appeared. I know - and Ive tried many - similar utilities to TabLauncher but they almost all without exception accept only aliases of a file or folder which is fine if thats what youre looking for. TabLauncher accepts the original file or folder AND links (aliases) as well, including aliases to applications. I consider this application as my most important and most often used utility, you can virtually throw anything at it (files, folders, images, movies, music) to store either temporary or permanently. You can place the tabs left, right, top or bottom of your screen, adjust the prefs for the tabs color, style, size, etc., including the response time for opening and closing the tabs and keep them visible or automatically hide them. No more searching for applications, files or folders, they are right there in the tabs (invisible) at the edge of your screen, named after your own preferences. I hope the developer never gives up on this utility, because this is a keeper for life. No more need for the Dock - finally! The price is also ridiculously low. So far I havent seen any crashes with this utility in Mavericks on my 2007 MBPro 17".
