And it won't Quit. And it wants ten dollars. Plus, it doesn't do what Tapdex' free version does: function. So. Hey, QS is just too much for the most of us, simple folk ;-) PopBuddyPop doesn’t.

Really? 1) Invoke QS 2) type first and last letters of contact name 3) "There is no step three" :) well that's not exactly right, but it hit TAB and then select what you want to do: compose email (which is my default so that when I want to send an email to somebody, I just invoke QS, type the first and last letters, hit enter and a Mail Message window pops up) or show contact or edit, etc. etc. Much more useful in my opinion.

They have a love for the "whoosh" sound in common too, if I remember. I think our wives must have been related in a previous life.

Quicksilver would be wife-daunting. For <i>my</i> wife anyway. @Goodinuf: ABMenu isn't universal binary. And there's no room to spare on the menubar for many of us with 1024x768 displays.

And I think it is fair to say that BuddyPop and TapDex both require less keystrokes and are more efficienct than Quicksilver for their one particular task. Unless I am missing something.

Once you start using QS, users tend to look for ways to maximize their "muscle memory" and rely on QS features that do some or all of what little apps like this do. At least, I do. QS has replaced many little apps and techniques for doing things like this. MatonMacs: Exactly!
