I want this to be done automatically, so that I don't have to drag and drop anything myself.

You mean the Apple menu, Recent items, Applications list, but as Dock replacement? – Daniel Beck Nov 3 '10 at 15:27
@Daniel Beck: Yes. – Robin Green Nov 3 '10 at 15:39
I think your best bet is to check out DragThing. If that can't to this, there probably is no way. – Daniel Beck Nov 3 '10 at 15:53
Also, it's quite difficult to tell was a frequently used application is. Time running, time not hidden, time in foreground (but scrolling works for background-windows too!), etc. – Daniel Beck Nov 3 '10 at 15:54

I agree with Warnaud about using a quick launch tool, but my recommendation is LaunchBar. It's really amazing and can do a lot more than just launch apps. Alfred is also capable of that with the Power Pack, so try both and see which one you like.

Good luck

Well, that's not quite the same - that's recently used, not most frequently used - but it's still useful - thanks! – Robin Green Nov 3 '10 at 15:36
Oups sorry. I don't see how to do this, nor don't find any solution :( – Warnaud Nov 3 '10 at 15:50
@Robin Now you contradict yourself. Mine (comment) is also "recently used", not "frequently used". – Daniel Beck Nov 3 '10 at 15:53
I personally use whether Alfred or Spotlight to launch app and they are stored in function of the usage – Warnaud Nov 3 '10 at 15:55
@Daniel Beck: Oops yes, sorry, you're right. – Robin Green Nov 3 '10 at 16:30
