The GUI was, IMHO, never intended to make things faster, just easier. The GUI 
brought computers to the rest of us who couldn't be bothered to learn 
command-line syntax and the mystical inner-workings of an 'invisible' machine.

Now, after years of use for some, some have become computer-savvy (whatever 
that means). Not to say we all speak l33t and can operate exclusively in the 
Terminal, but for me, as a GUI-user, I have also found that once I've mastered 
a task in the GUI, the next step is to find a way to do my mastered tasks 
faster. That's where Quicksilver comes into play ... and Macros, and some 
Terminal use, and the deeper config/preferences/advanced settings of my 
most-used apps, controls etc.

The interesting thing about the suggestion/recommendation of Launchy and Dash 
is that they're both keystroke-oriented interfaces, and I find that 
fascinating, since it begins to show that for some users, the OS' [G]UI gets in 
the way and is not the most effective method of interaction.
