Oof. As a user of icon-only task manager I heavily rely on pinned tasks, as they work great for muscle memory and otherwise the task manager is just an empty waste of space. And I don't think it's only a lack of feature parity, if you have launchers and a task manager you end up with two entries if the application is running, and for icon-only task manager both of them will look almost the same (except the little bar showing it is a window). Personally I'd rather get rid of the launcher widget thing, since this is also what Windows does and, as far as I am aware, what Mac OS does (I don't use a Mac, but I think the dock there is mostly this) I assume this is one of the areas where lot of people have different workflows (i.e. I would never use the "icon only" thing I wrote myself, but multiple people asked for it and it seems to greatly improve their efficiency) and thus we have loads of options. Personally I am in favour of keeping most of them if possible, just with sane defaults and also (more) sane ways of accessing them. So I would prefer some discussion and mind-mapping before throwing more patches at it, as this will spread the discussion over various places.
