Spark

No one's mentioned Spark yet. It isn't as powerful as something like Butler, but it has a nice interface and is very intuitive (mostly).

The iTunes alert is quite nice, but doesn't have album artwork etc. I found the design of it confusing when compared to the app launch bezel.

Spark is designed to be a keyboard shortcuts thingy, so no other triggers, I'm afraid. One more thing: it behaves oddly with AppleScript apps and isn't entirely stable. Relaunch it every few minutes (esp. when dealing with AS) to make sure you don't lose your changes.

The thing I like about it is that you can set very intuitive keyboard shortcuts for simple tasks. My favourites are Crtl-Shift-Delete to empty trash and Ctrl-, to open System preferences.
