Well, I noticed that Quicksilver was consuming 400’ish MB of Virtual Memory (and 200’ish MB of Real Memory) and was starting to get sloooow. So, goodbye Quicksilver, hello again LaunchBar 4 Beta 9.
Thing I really liked about Quicksilver:
Free
Some cool plugins (like the iTunes plugin)
Automatically knows how to run dockless and start at login (which is the right way for a program like this to run)
Things I didn’t like so much:
Very little content indexed by default
Seemed to slow waaaay down when more content was added
Default interface consumed a LOT of space when activated (unlike the “mini interface” which looked just like Launchbar)
Doesn’t use cmd+space as the default activation key… only a negative if you’re used to Launchbar
BTW – If you’re running OSX and not running one of these programs (or one of the other flavors of the same) you’re really missing out!
