Text: Could you use Spotlight instead of Quicksilver?

Keeping with the theme of using the software that comes with your Mac, I gave up using QuickSilver and other similar tools when Leopard came out. 10.5 made Spotlight much faster, and it now does 90% of what I was using third party launcher tools for.

I switched back to Spotlight recently. QuickSilver was nice at first, but it became sluggish to use over time. Since I feel at home using Terminal, a lot of QuickSilver’s awesome features were replaced with Bash or Python commands, so eventually all I used it for was launching applications.

I always used it as more of a dock replacement than anything else.  That, and a quick-access calculator.  and keyboard access to iTunes.  I still think OSX is shit without quicksilver.
