Launchers

OK heres my idea. I've noticed that launchers such as Quicksilver, LaunchBar and Butler are becoming more and more popular. Vote in the poll and then maybe say what you use and why...

for nnow im using quicksilver. i like thats theres nothing really confusing or elaborate but it has everything you need plus a few extras. so for now im sticking with it.

QS for me too

I'm afraid I don't use any - I have all the programs I need to launch ready on the dock - what advantage would a launcher give me? (genuine question BTW)

Well speaking for quicksilver, the advantages are that you can not only launch any application or utility you want, but that you can also open any document or execute (nearly) any command you want too.

For example: I can bring up a document with a few taps on the keyboard, and move it to my external drive, email it to someone, upload it too my FTP server, or open it in any program I wish (not just the default setting).
All that is REALLY easy to do with QS.

I can also map certain commands to certain keyboard keys:
I have F1 as track back, F2 as play/pause and F3 as track forward (for iTunes).
These hotkeys work system-wide too - regardless of which application is currently active.

I can also navigate iTunes like my iPod through the QS dialogue: again all with a few key combos.
