Fredrik mentioned Quicksilver.. and really, after trying out the Ubiquity prototype, it really feels like Quicksilver for the browser. And I mean that in a good way.
After using Quicksilver for a number of years it's become indispensable, and Ubiquity looks like it would be the same once fully functional. These types of rich command line interfaces are amazingly fast once you get into the habit of using them... however, they will probably always be a "power user" tool, rather than the norm. Matt.
