Comment (by jscipione):
This sounds like you just hate menus. Still they are a valid approach.
Dock functionality is optionally provided by heyu68's dock or launchbox.
I've been slowly improving Deskbar over the years little by little adding
features. The latest feature I've added is a new mini-mide and one of the
big reasons for it is so that Deskbar will be out of the way for a dock.
Concept is here: https://discuss.haiku-os.org/t/deskbar-design-idea-
mockup-split-out-the-application-bar/3585
Pinning apps has been a planned feature for a while now. Detailed here:

I suggested adding a top-level Utilities folder a while back but we
already have a few special app folders "Desktop applets" and "Demos" so my
suggestion was ill-received.
3rd party apps can be added, an integrated search would be nice to have.
We need less brainstorming in this area and more coding.
