Definitely one of the most used apps on my Mac. Much simpler to use than Spotlight as it only searches / indexes Apps not everything else.

The new ß57 version was announced in a lot of places touting large performance increase. I've tried it, but I went back to ß54, still works for me, and is a lot faster than the sluggish ß57.

This is an essential app for someone who spends time at their computer. Using the keyboard instead of the mouse to launch apps, find contacts, and generally make your way around the system speeds things up dramatically.

This is NOT the version that was previously developed by Blacktree; this is the ongoing community effort, although the "homepage" link continues to lead to Blacktree's website for QS, the download link pulls from the GoogleCode website: http://blacktree-alchemy.googlecode.com .

Quicksilver is nice launcher applications and unlimited posibilities, BUT it eat so much memory and sometimes not stable.
The best combinations are use Spotlight and Quicksilver.

I use it a lot and still find it tremendously useful.
However, I'm still using β54 since the alphas have been very unstable and show weird behavior for me.
