I know it's probably classified as an alpha geek thing, but using quicksilver kinda negates any use of the dock (or /Applications) as a launcher - but if we're talking about people that leave things in dmgs and run them from there, well. ouch.

The problem there becomes that people have more applications than they want in the dock, so they're used to going to Finder -> Applications for anything they run. ("Why do I have to go into /Utilities/? Ugh!") djb-esque /command could be implemented as a smart folder located at /Applications, aggregating from ~/Applications, /System/Applications, and anything flagged @Application in Spotlight. There wouldn't be anything to hate about that, right..? -- rjbs
