- technoslut 14y agoI realize that many Quicksilver fans will be upset with my comments but I can't rely on something that was essentially broken for five years and count on it being something I can use a couple of hundred times everyday. What happens the next time something gets broken after a major OS update? I can't wait for a few months to get it working again. I'm not saying that open source software is lousy. I use it all the time. It's just that in certain situations you need the person there who created it.
