If you play with all those apps, you can see that each have a reason
to be in the Dock — when you click on the dock icon, you see the app
content; Dashboard activates and display the widgets, Stacks show
their content window, etc.
If you are not sure about this, build a simple prototype (with minima
or empty menu), and let real user play with it. Watch them and see if
you interface is confusing or not.
