KAIDOH As presumably a lot of other people I have used Quicksilver before. I was looking for another launchingandotherpurposes utility after QS got more unstable every week and I was fed up rebuilding indices and digging for problem solutions (aka acting without getting things done). I'm glad I tried LaunchBar and will never look back. To be honest it took a while to get accustomed to the ways of LauncBar as the user concepts differ to some extend and old habbits have to be broken (e.g. you can't define custom key combination shortcuts). But after a short phase of reactance I now find LaunchBar's way of dealing with things much easier and slicker. Here are some observations: * Holding down a key for a short time is simply a great way to trigger off events. After you've learned the right rhythm this feels ultrafast. * Managing file operations with LB is just done right. Have to whisper this as my Finder get's jealous because he feels so neglected lately. * The clipboard history is another winner. Simple but powerful (check out the clip merge function) *Drag and drop works in any direction and almost always behaves the way you would have expected it (and provides quite some ways you have never thought of - RTFM!) * Speed: Spotlight is a dodderer against it. * Stability: In the months of testing LB 5 beta did not crash on me a once! As said, I'm glad I made the switch and I can't think of a single QS feature I'm missing (not even the comma trick). LB isn't free but it's worth every penny. I reccomend you try it for yourself and I also recommend you give it some time to get accustomed to it and before you render a judgement. My experience is that this time is payed back manifold by the time this little apss saves you.
