How fast is Spotlight for searches?
It's acceptable, most of the time. One of its drawbacks is that every time you do a search, Spotlight is searching *everything* to find what you're typing; it doesn't (to my knowledge) learn from previous searches, as Launchbar does.
In Spotlight's favour is the fact that it indexes everything new in real time. Create a file called "gnarrh", close it, then do a Spotlight search for "gnarrh" and you'll see it straight away. That's sometimes useful, especially because Quicksilver *doesn't* instantly index everything new like this; you have to open its prefs and tell it to re-index stuff.
I still use Quicksilver as a launcher, and sometimes flit over to Spotlight to find something that I suspect Quicksilver might not yet have indexed.
Also how terrible is Expose?
I rather like Expose. I use F11, to sweep all open windows to one side so I can reach stuff on the Desktop, many times a day.
