I just installed Launchbar 4.3.2 and have Quicksilver installed I believe it is build 3800. Anyways I use it mostly for launching apps and open files. I like the extensibility of Quicksilver but Launchbar seems faster to me. I am not sure which one to get. I would like to know which one is better with the computer resources since I am on a macbook and not a macpro, macbook pro or an imac. What do you guys prefer and what made you pick either launchbar or quicksilver. Thanks
Got a tip for us?

Quicksilver launches stuff, but also has other features too which you may (or may not) find useful. I LOVE the iTunes "triggers." You can set key combos to do things like change songs or pause music in iTunes from other applications. So I can skip to the next iTunes song while in Firefox by hitting option + command + right arrow key. Go back with that and left arrow key, pause with that and down arrow key... plus it can do a ton of other things I'm still learning about.
I voted for Quicksilver, but may give Launchbar another look as I'm not realy using QS for anything that Launchbar wont do.
