Personally I think that import/export future maybe very useful. Being used to Spark, it seems strange to me that QuickSilver doesn't already have this future. Cloud syncing (using iCloud) would be a step ahed, but I realise that it could have some downside. While import procedure can analyse invalid settings and discard them or ask the user how to deal with them, cloud syncing must be able to hold settings valid on all synced computers... maybe a little more complex.
