Quicksilver is my favorite
I've been using Quicksilver for a few months now, and am very, very impressed. It's fast, you can do most everything from the keyboard with it, its plugin architecture makes it very extensible, and it has a huge number of useful built-in features. For example, I used to quit LaunchBar by accident and then get frustrated when Command-Space did nothing; Quicksilver has a "delay quit" option that fixed that for me. There are also three "launch modes": window, menu, and bezel, each with their own benefits, a slick, well-organized interface and preferences panel, excellent Finder and Safari (and now iLife) integration, and dozens of other neat options--and Quicksilver isn't even done yet!

I agree. Quicksilver is by far the best. And with the new ß21 (that's beta 21) iTunes control is even better. It comes with built-in scripts for controlling iTunes and if it scans the iTunes music library in its catalog you can browse the library by song, album, artist, or genre (or playlist) and play anything you want. Yes, LaunchBar 4 lets you browse, but it only lets you play one song at a time. Quicksilver lets you select a whole album (or artist or what have you) and it will create a playlist for the selection and play it all.

I use Synergy to control iTunes. Best $5 I ever spent..

Almost replaced my copy of Launchbar also but version 4 renewed my interest. QuickSilver is great but a bit complicated & unpredictable. Search prediction seems more reliable in LB. If I need extra features from LB then I could create Applescripts & pass strings through it.

I presume you mean Fitts's Law. I'm not certain I see the relevance here, as my perception of the attractiveness of utilities like QuickSilver and LaunchBar for most users is that they don't have to take their hands off the keyboard to launch apps, open files, etc. Moving the mouse — whether to an "easy" infinite depth target or not — isn't an issue. Or at least that's how I tend to use them.
