A couple of weeks ago, in a thread about changes to distribution, etc. Etienne mentioned switching to Sparkle.
I generally dislike Sparkle because it prompts when you launch an application. At that point you have a choice: interrupt what you were doing to install the update (and hope you remember what you were going to do) or continue what you were doing (and hope you remember to install the update later). Neither is appealing. I suppose this isn’t really an issue with something that you always want running for no particular task like Quicksilver, so maybe it’s irrelevant here but as a general rule, this looks like a better system: http://code.google.com/p/update-engine/ Especially if plugins are going to be updated separately as Etienne suggested.
