QotD: Launcher
Question: LaunchBar or QuickSilver>QuickSilver>
My Answer: I had been using Launchbar and was very pleased, but then I read several glowing reviews of QuickSilver and made the switch. Mainly because QuickSilver is free, looks cooler, and has more features. I love the Email to… and IM To… features. Overall it’s just a lot more powerful than Launchbar. Of course I haven’t tried the new version 4 beta of Launchbar, and from reading the feature list it looks like they caught up to QuickSilver as far as features go. But it’s still not free.
I’ve had only limited exposure to Launch Bar but I did install QuickSilver on my computer at home. I haven’t found many reasons to keep using it though. I guess I’m just set in my ways of working without it.
