I was hesitant to move to LaunchBar because it didn't support Quicksilver's Triggers feature. Then I found Spark Daemon:

It's an excellent free (but not open source) and complete Triggers replacement that has none of the bugs of Quicksilver's implementation.

Once I had a keyboard shortcut manager, I was happy to switch to LaunchBar, whose author, among other things, is also the creator of Little Snitch, an amazing interactive outbound firewall.

Thanks for the tip, LaunchBar's inability to handle snippets has been my only complaint.

I loved me some QuickSilver in days of yore, but I'll never switch back; LaunchBar is too excellent, and it's burned into my brain at this point. :)
