I dunno, I've been using Launchbar (the beta) for a while and I prefer it.
- Jalada
i dont mean to sound aggressive Jalada, but I'll put my house on it that Quicksilver can do everything and more better than Launchbar
- Zee.
Oh yea zee. Qs can do a lot more than Launchbar. I do prefer Launchbar anyway :)
- Zio Bonino
I couldn't use QS for more than search & running apps. And for that the Spotlight works well, which made me remove QS. BUT, knowing it now posts to friendfeed directly, I guess I'll try it again...
- Arnaldo M Pereira
After reading this review I guess I should install this as the next level of **Pimping my Mac**
- Jonathan.Rivera
I'm a long time fan of QS, but -for the sake of infosharing- you can do quick unit conversions using the Google Quick Search Box as well. Simply double-tap the command key and when the search box comes up type, for instance: 100 miles into km. - The first choice offered should be "Search Google..." - Hit that, and Google will do the unit conversion in your browser.
- Carlos Granier-Phelps
I'm sure Quicksilver can do it all, but I always found Quicksilver's configuration to be cumbersome and complicated. Maybe I was just doing it wrong :P
- Jalada
I used QS for a long time and love it but found it ate a lot of resources on my old powerbook so I stopped using it. I tried Butler and although very different metaphor it did everything QS did but again found the same thing with resources. Now I use the google quick search which is nowhere as hungry but doesn't really cut it yet. As I'm doing more and more in firefox now I'm using ubiquity more and more and that is rocking.

Shedali: as far as I know, there is still some active development ongoing by members of the quicksilver community. However, Alcor, the creator and lead developer of Quicksilver, is now heading up a team at Google developing the Google Quick Search Box: http://code.google.com/p...

I would love to have a Quicksilver guru help me use Q more effectively. Seem like I'm mostly using it as an app launcher. Any tips INS goodsite for this?

I was a satisfied user of Quicksilver until OS X 10.5 came out. Quicksilver became unstable on it and some plugins didn't work anymore. I now use Google Quick Search Box which looks more stable and promising than QS.
- Brome
I dumped it last year - Quicksliver is too complicated and it's balky on Leopard.
- Bill Sodeman
I just bounced back over to Quicksilver after an extended relationship with Butler. Butler's interface seems a little more simple to me, but QS is fast, super extensible, and I like the QS plugins.
- Joel Zehring
I can't live without QS and will be heartbroken if it stops being compatible with the upcoming os releases.
- wynlim
I can't live without Quicksilver, first thing I install on a Mac
- Simon Tracey
My problem with Quicksilver is that I become SO dependent on it on my own mac that I can't seem to do anything when I get on a Mac that doesn't have it.

Recently I haven't been using it that much, but that's because I've been spending less time at the computer.

Quicksilver was indeed ahead of it's time ESP for those us us who prefered not to use mice - before spotlight using the GUI on a Mac wasn't my favorite
- chad calease
from Nambu
+1 Jeff; would be happy if apple integrated something like quicksilver; I thought spotlight would become a quicksilver killer but it doesn't offer the same indispensable object-action style of interacting with items etc. I must have OCD because I've accumulated over 1000 address book cards and quicksilver just cannot handle this without crashing for me!

I wish I had a nickel for every second of time QS has saved me...It's a must have.

UPDATE: TEST IS NEGATIVE - BELLA IS FINE!!!!!!!!! The Bad Side of Fostering Kittens: Bella was preliminarily diagnosed with Leukemia. :( #bellafosterkittens#foxfosterkittens
Thursday afternoon we found out that a saliva test came back showing our 8 week old foster kitten Bella as positive for Feline Leukemia. We are still waiting on a confirmation and 'stage' from a blood test whose results we will hopefully get this Saturday. Depending on the stage of the disease, this means different things for Bella's future. For the last day and a half we have been acting under worst case scenario conditions and so she is quarantined in our back bedroom/office and bathroom with strict washing and clothes-changing rules in place for anyone who visit her, including ourselves. This is to further protect our two house cats from infection. However since the shelter is not set up to care for her away from other cats and being there would mean she would have very little contact or space to play, we took her back and are making the best of the situation.
- Rachel Lea Fox
Because of the risk to our cats and the cats of our friends who have helped socialize and take care of Bella while we were away, we are in full testing and vaccinating mode. The Feline Leukemia vaccination is not often given unless the cat is an outdoor cat, which ours are not. Only Nym was vaccinated. All of that said, so far all tests have come back negative and we we don't really...

- Rachel Lea Fox
What all this means for Bella is highly dependent on her upcoming test results. On their own, the shelter would have no choice but to put her to sleep if the test results come back positive. However, because we have made modifications to help, we will do our best to find a home that she can thrive in no matter what the circumstances. She may need a home where she is an indoor only cat...

- Rachel Lea Fox
It has been a long hard couple of days with getting tests and vaccinations, talking with vets, and researching, but we love our kitties so much, and Bella is just too sweet to give up on. We are crossing our fingers for Bella and for all our kitties.
- Rachel Lea Fox
She's the most energetic kitten we've ever fostered and she's so friendly we knew she'd be adopted in a matter of days if not for this. Now we're just trying to save her life.
- Kevin Fox
*hugs* I'm so sorry to hear this guys. We had a cat with feline leukemia and he lived happily and healthily for years. I hope the tests come back negative, but if not I hope you quickly find her a safe, happy, and suitable home...
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Thanks Tina. I also lost a cat to feline leukemia when I was a teenager. I'm sorry about your kitty, I'm so glad you got so many good years with him. Cats really are wonderful animals. I'm just glad we are able to keep her in a quarantined situation so that we are able to give her a chance to find a home. *hugs back*
- Rachel Lea Fox
Kevin and Rachel, I'm so sorry to hear this. I second your friend above, Bella IS so lucky to have you both. I'm keeping all my fingers (and toes) crossed.
- Malena
I am so sorry to hear this sad turn of events. She is in good hands with the two of you for now. I hope you are able to help find her a good home. My heart goes out to you.
- Anne Bouey
Bella is so lucky to have you two, I hope she ends up beating it on her own. *hugs* :(
- Mona Nomura
I have a cat that has to be separated from the rest of the house, for different reasons that yours and it already breaks my heart. Make the best of a situation indeed... Good Luck and I praise you for giving all you have!
- Marco
Thank you everyone for your wonderful thoughts and for sharing your own stories. It really helps. In a few hours we will haves test results and know more about what we need to be doing. *crosses fingers*
- Rachel Lea Fox
We just got confirmatory blood tests back and Bella is Negative for Leukemia!!!!!!!!!! No stage 1, no stage 2, no nothing!! Healthy Kitten going in to the shelter shortly and will be up for adoption asap!!!!!!!
- Rachel Lea Fox
I had an adoptive kitten once that was quickly diagnosed with a condition that was fatal so I've been following this for a while. YEA FOR BELLA!!
- Mark Gardner
Thanks everyone. We are revealed and exhausted. Bella is now up for adoption and will hopefully have an awesome home very soon. And we are now better educated and better prepared!
- Rachel Lea Fox
Mark, was your kitten okay, or was the diagnoses correct? What was it diagnosed with?
- Rachel Lea Fox
Thanks everyone. Today has been such a relief. We have just been working on releasing all the worry and stress. Kevin and I are both feeling better and totally expect that Bella will be adopted this weekend. And Greg, I'm so glad Guitara is happy and healthy! I'm sure she is taking as good of care of you as you are of Guitara. yea for kitties!!
