Yeah, it is something that (I think) is optional in a lot of apps, but 
it is useful. libunity is what allows for the dock integration, like 
with the progress bars and the badges on the icons. I believe that the 
following apps use it: pantheon-files, switchboard, and slingshot. 
Geary also is able to use it for badges, but whether geary is built to 
support that on non-ubuntu distros is unknown, and doubtful, to me.

Upon looking further, it also adds quicklists support, which 
pantheon-files uses to display the standard directories (Pictures, 
Music, et al) in its launcher.

Cheers,
Cameron
