The visual feedback is reminiscent of QuickSilver (and yes, you can get rid of the hat icon.) My main hangup with LaunchBar was that it was that unobtrusive when triggered that I had to look for it to see if it was listening. Alfred is more along the QuickSilver line of thinking in that you barely need to be looking at the screen to know that it's waiting.
The only thing I miss going from QuickSilver to Alfred is triggers, but I only had a few simple ones and some one trick AppleScripts soon filled that gap.
The powerpack is great too, I bought it within a day of seriously trying Alfred, partially for the functionality, but also to encourage them to keep up the excellent work!

The interface is intuitive and unobtrusive, you're almost left wondering why some of the other offerings are complex. The on-the-fly transcoding is completely transparent with the host Mac (2.8GHz MacBook Pro in this case) not even raising a sweat on 720p MKVs.
Streaming to a Sony Bravia over wireless, this was the only one that flawlessly worked, recognising every file I threw at it. Snappy response times in navigation and playback, too.
Generous demo time limit (60 mins per session, relaunch to repeat as many times as you like) but I ended up registering it within a day. It already stomps all over our existing dedicated media player hardware.
Thanks for a top effort guys!

Especially impressed with the responsiveness of the developer. Tried loading it on an old G4 I have here for games and it wouldn't stay running. Sent them a support ticket from their website in the evening, had a reply and a bugfix the next morning. Can't ask for better than that!

This add-on changes that.
It gets the job done - dare I say more elegantly than its Firefox colleague, and in combination with Safari Adblock means I'm still using Safari 4 beta as my default browser, and lovin' it!
[insert obligatory "don't block ads for websites you want to support" advisory here. ;-)]

Definitely worth having a look if you ask me.
