Why some apps belong in the menu bar, not the Dock

If you install a lot of third-party apps, you may have noticed a trend: More and more programs these days run as icons in the menu bar - either solely in that mode or as an option in lieu of (or in addition to) a normal Dock icon. The list of such programs is huge, and includes such prominent apps as Dropbox, ScreenFlow, TextExpander, and hundreds of others. (Disclosure: The company I work for, Many Tricks, produces several apps--including Desktop Curtain, Moom, and Time Sink--that also offer the ability to run in the menu bar or the Dock.)Related StoriesMophie Juice Pack Helium iPhone 5 battery to ship 19 Feb
