Now I am still confused on what to do and I am still playing with both to figure out which one I will land on long term. They really do overlap in a lot of ways in terms of their features but they differ when it comes to how they chose to implement some of those features. In doing this I determined that they are both very similar and capable applications. In my quest to decide which one to go with, I made a list of features and compared them side by side. I was happy with Alfred but I couldn’t leave enough alone and now I am trying to decide which one I like best. So being the launcher addict that I am, I had to take a look at it. From the looks of it I could see that it had gotten a make over and added the larger interface I had wanted and a few new changes and tweaks to the services it could perform.
LAUNCHBAR 6 FOR WINDOWS UPDATE
Well just a couple of weeks ago the guys over at Objective Development decided to release an update to Launchbar and introduced Launchbar 6. I have been happy with Alfred ever since and put it on all of my Macs. I got to the point where I was lost on a Mac that did not have Launchbar installed! From there I moved to Alfred because it seemed to offer the best mix of a larger graphical interface and the power of customizing and adding actions to make me more productive. While Launchbar did not have the larger graphical interface I came to love with Quicksilver, it was very fast and I got used to using it for just about everything. When Quicksilver was not longer going to be developed (something that has changed a bit since then) I started using Launchbar. I started out with Quicksilver and loved the big graphical interface and the way I could perform multiple actions quickly without ever having my hands leave the clipboard.
I have always had a weakness for launcher applications since I started using a Mac.
