Applications like these highly benefit from deep integration into the environment. Also, keeping them native and easy on resources makes them using a snap. You want these to come and go quickly, at the whim of a fingertip. You want them to connect to your local search services, reuse local components, etc. The biggest problem for most of these "Launchers", is that they try to be cross-platform, making them slow and a pain to use, as soon as you want more than just basic seek&run. I am still trying to find a suitable on Windows, that would make me as happy and satisfied as Quicksilver does on macOS.
