[Quillz]

Is 60 beta releases a record?

[LeHote]

beta, alpha, omega. What difference does it make as long as the experience satisfies the user?

This is community sourced at this point, not by the original developer... right?

I've kind of switched to Alfred for now but I still have Quicksilver installed on a different hotkey.

[LeHote]

it's located on the developer's site, though can't confirm that it's by the original developer. http://qsapp.com/download.php

I'm attached to the hip with QS. It was one of the main reasons why I switched to using mac. I've got my DevonThink databases hooked to it, as well as being able to quickly add tasks to TaskPaper with it, and using QS to bookmark sites to Pinboard which can be accessed later with a quick type. There really isn't anything I can say about QS that is subpar to other similar apps.
