Very interesting tool. From my brief experience with QuickSilver, it
seems similar. One big improvement over QuickSilver though might be
(if not yet implemented) to offer contextual options, relevant to the
current application or selected content. 

One major disadvantage of CLI's is the lack of visibility, for
example as opposed to a right-mouse-click contextual menu. The first
is empty, whereas the latter shows the relevant options. Ubiquity
seems to give a few presets, but I am not sure. 

The choice for a CLI offers much more options, as a contextual menu
has a limited amount of space, or will become very complex using
hierarchy menus. But when using a CLI, the language recognition
engine should accept a lot of variations for the same action or
object, and give enough context to guide the user.
