Quicksilver is pretty much what every other launcher on the Mac has been based on, but for free. Alfred is a nice product and basic launching functionality is free, but most of the advanced features that are free in Quicksilver cost £12 (about $19) to add.
I've been running the previous version of Quicksilver on Snow Leopard and Lion, and it's been very solid; the new version should be even better.
- jeremyswank 15y agoagreed; i've been runing quicksilver non-stop since before the developer passed the project on to others. for a time, it was sluggish and caused some problems. but i have no complaints to speak of about the last couple iterations. i switched to quicksilver from launchbar, in spite of the fact that i'd paid good money for launchbar. it's not so much that something was wrong with launchbar; it's only that quicksilver was noticeably better in many respects (flexibility, esthetics, flow), imho.
