If you used to run multiple applications in the background, it doesn't have the best method of switching between apps quickly. Dock4Droid brings a swipable dock, not unlike iOS' fast app switching, to your Android phone.
Dock4Droid, sitting at the bottom of your screen in the form of small bright lines, and when you touch, you can swipe through all your currently running apps. I've never been a fan of the "Recent Apps" menu you get when you hold down the Home button on your phone. It only gives you eight apps, and only gives you the most recent ones you've used.
You can also tell your favorite apps: things you often need to launch quickly from another app's screen, for example: to always appear on the dock. And, of course, the dock's look is customizable.
It's one of many different app launchers out there, but there's no learning curve and it doesn't get in your way too often. If you accidentally invoke the dock when you're trying to tap near the bottom of the screen, you can just swipe your finger up to close it though it doesn't happen that often to me.
