Quicksilver is my favorite
Authored by: joon on Apr 07, '04 05:48:53AM

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.

Another big thing for me is that I like to dock the bar in the lower right hand corner. (fits law) Something i can't do with QuickSilver.

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.
