Pretty good application but can be useless when using a dock application with stacks (like RocketDock or XWindows Dock).
A great space saving dock. Its "dock folders" allow you to store a limitless amount of shortcuts. I'm a minimalist when it comes to my desktop and keeping my main dock uncluttered has become A LOT easier with circle dock.
The fact that its view on demand, rather than a static dock, means I don't have to obsessively organize it as much as I do with my rocketdock.
The only negative points I have to list is that it seems silly to have to click 2 or 3 times just to get to a shortcut, but it IS hidden from view so its a worthwhile trade.
This is extremely good launcher app. It can launch any shortcut and is visually very appealing. Coupled with a keyboard shortcut for starting/hiding it (which i mapped to a mouse button) all my applications are two clicks away. It lacks certain power-user features of other launchers, but it certainly has it's uses.
