Hi Amedee,
To keep an Icon in the Launcher (the Dock on the left) simply open the 
application that you want to keep it's icon there, and right-click the 
icon and shoose "Keep in Launcher". As for the being cluttered part - I'm 
not sure I can help you there. Mine stays pretty cluttered as well :-) I 
also, like Unity - I think it's great, and I'm excited to see how it grows 
and matures with time!

Hope this helps,
Jayson
