Like everyone and their brother (that last one was the deciding factor), I have given Quicksilver a look… Pretty good so far but I need to play with it some more to decide which I like better: LaunchBar, Quicksilver or Butler. Both Quicksilver and Butler are free (Butler is donationware) and apparently Quicksilver will be open-sourced at some point which is a BIG advantage and makes it an early favorite.

After reading Dan Dickinson’s nice tutorial and having lived with Quicksilver all day long, I have to admit that it won me over. This app is very cool! I have experienced some slow downs once in a while and the app crashed once but apart from that, I’m really happy with it.

LaunchBar has long been the reference, it’s nice to see some competition since it will most certainly foster innovation. I have high hopes the same thing will happen between NetNewsWire and Shrook.

Related (not by much, granted), I am also reading Quicksilver by Neal Stephenson.
