The best application I ever used in now over 20 years as a mac power user - and 15 of these years I have had worked as an mac admin, too; now not anymore: 1. Makes different applications superflously (i.e. calculator, spotlight) or reduces the use of other applications (i.e. all kind of searches, Finder, Browser searches, quicklook of files); 2. is absolutely easy to use (one shortcut to have it in front, present itself then as an one window app); 3. perfect partner for powers users who are used to keyboard and shortcuts and want to minimize timewasting mouse/trackpad usage more and more, Alfred helps speeding up; 4. does not use a lot of CPU%; 5. 100% stable (the only app I wasn't able to crash until today); 6. Basic features are free (and these are a lot of my daily used features); 7. with adding on the low cost powerpack it's simply marvellous
Aha, what you people don't know is that if you configure Spotlight to search only Mail and Messages, you've got a nice little dropdown at the top right corner of your menubar - that one by one, shows the contents of each mail, … and hey, kids, it does a *real* search, on any ol' word … unlike world's crappiest search in Mail.
Just sayin'.
