Launch apps from the Finder without using a mouse

I'm surprised to see all these comments about Butler being complicated - it's a little idiosyncratic at points, but I got it up and running with it in no time at all. Launchbar's configuration dialog is certainly more confusing. I found it really easy to configure the custom menus and hot keys, and I love the search box in the menu bar.... all of these are avialable in other utilities, but this seems to be the only one that has them all. [I am not affiliated with the author of Butler :-)]

My only gripe about Butler is it seems a bit sluggish on my iBook 600. Even with icons turned off, custom menus containing folders with many items take waaaay to long to draw.
