Still using Alfred. I've got like 10 years of muscle memory at this point, plus just a crapload of special symbols (which I'm about to use later in this post :)). I've just generally gotten used to the exact commands I need, and when I've tried Spotlight lately it just seems like it's kind of lagging and spending too much time fetching extraneous stuff -- which also just adds to visual clutter.

To be fair, though, I really have not tried to use Spotlight consistently. I just remapped Spotlight to ⌘-⇧-space (Alfred is using the default ⌘-space) and will try to hit it more frequently to see if it works at all for me.
