Stacks: Useful, but oh so painful to use

After running a developer build of Leopard for the past week and a half, there is one feature that I have come to hate. Stacks. They can be nice if you just have a folder that you throw a few documents or pictures in here and there, but there really is no use for them, at least the way I used folders in the Dock in Tiger. To me, Stacks have become a nuisance, sure they look pretty, but they don't seem to serve much of a purpose besides looking cool.

Luckily for me, and anyone that reads this that likes how folders in the Dock worked in Tiger, I have found a way to circumvent stacks in Leopard's Dock. What you have to do is create and Alias of the folder you want in the Dock and put that Alias in the Dock. Doing that makes the folder in the dock open up in a Finder window.
