Although I must confess (in order to soothe my ego a bit), Quicksilver has changed a bit since I last used it.  I find it ironic that it's continually under "beta" status, because it sure works a lot better now.

And it does indeed do hotkey web searching...not to mention the feature that has made me definitely switch back to QS: quicklaunching any website.  For the most part, the hotkey feature suffices for a few websites I visit frequently to search with, such as Blingo.  However, QS has the option of making me SUPER lazy, because to launch any website at all, all I have to do is launch QS (command+space for me), type in the url, and hit enter.  That simple.  Holy cow.  And I have yet to fully delve into its depths, but an afternoon of messing around has yielded great riches.  The main sense in difference, ironically, is that Butler just does so much more than I need it to do...QS seems to run in the background a bit more smoothly, and it does indeed do everything I need it to do.  And, as Jeremiah said...it's super-sexy.

How ironic that in an effort to simplify, I actually went to a more complicated program in Butler?
