if you're going to name this app "A Better Finder..." something, it should at least be better than the finder's own method of doing it. clearly, this isn't.

Terminal beats this app by a mile and a half.

With all due respect to all the rest of launchers, I'll keep supporting LB.
Launchbar is the most reliable and it has the best latency.

Quicksilver requires the user to adjust to the software, this is bad software design. THe only thing that makes it a contender is that it's free.
Really?
It not only learns by itself, you can teach it, too. Everytime you select an app after typing the desired abbreviation, its score is increased. Do this a few times, and it'll be the first app to appear with that certain abbreviation. Or go ahead and assign your own abbreviation right away.
There's so much attention to detail in QS that it is mind-boggling. Butler is very good, LaunchBar was the original, but QS is head and shoulders above those two. Use it more than five minutes, and see for yourself.
