I can’t say it better that John Siracusa at Ars Technica… Stacks suck.

All I can add is that the Stacks feature in the shipping version of Leopard is not what was demonstrated at MacWorld all those moons ago. We were teased with making new stacks at will from random sections of items dragged from the Finder - nope, the coolest thing about them didn’t make it into the final release.

I’m reminded of Obi-Wan’s exasperated speech to the newly-christened Lord Vader at the end of Revenge Of The Sith. Stacks were supposed to bring balance to the Force and destroy the Sith; not join them (only to be defeated eventually by their own nitwit son and a band of monkey-puppy-bears.

How’s that for nerd? Computers and Star Wars in a single post. Please don’t tell anyone.
