I am so used to LaunchBar that I try to type application names on other computers that don't have it installed, and can't figure out why it's not working. This is a great application that just keeps getting faster. I don't need most of the fancy functions, but it's nice to know that they are there. As some have pointed out, Spotlight functions in a similar manner. However, it is not as quick, not as accurate, and does not allow for custom items or pruning of items. I can't use my Mac without LaunchBar.
