Most of the time I open up things with quicksilver. The few that I don't are firefox, xcode, cyberduck, and terminal.

I also rarely use my dock, and use Launchbar to get apps runnin.

Here's a typical day for my dock: http://www.grabup.com/uploads/c712431bcfb2b9658fe44b5062ff60...

Why do you use Quicksilver over Spotlight?

Quicksilver responds much faster than Spotlight does, even when Spotlight has "indexed" the disk. I only use Quicksilver for launching applications (i.e. I don't do anything even slightly advanced with it) but it's still satisfying because Quicksilver will find the app as I type it, whereas Spotlight will think for a few seconds.

Quicksilver allows you want to do something other than find and open a file. Though if that is all you want to do quicksilver opens as a default action.

Coming from a linux background I like to automate/do things faster whenever I can so quicksilver is just one way to do that.
