There are geeks and then there are QuickSilver geeks. I have tried so many times to increase interest in QuickSilver among my friends and colleagues (who are as geeky as they get), and some try and give up while others get as far as invoking the panel and are struck with fear as to what to ask of the Oracle.
I guess I don't get what people don't get about it. For me, QuickSilver is tied into everything I do. It is my sub-system, or sub OS if you will. It's a whole other programming paradigm that I use to inflict cause and effect on my daily operations, system wide. It is my Finder, my Spotlight, my Terminal, my micro editor, my uploader... I rarely venture beyond my desktop (mainly because my filesystem is umpteen deep with client folders in various states and versions), so QuickSilver is my loyal grunt who eagerly runs off to fetch whatever I ask of it, no matter how treacherous the territory is. So to all those who don't get QuickSilver or those who wonder why we feel that no others have quite compared, consider this; you might be content to let your computer do the thinking for you, but a QuickSilver geek likes to think for his/her computer. Here's to many years of continued open source development of QuickSilver.
