Have you actually used Quicksilver or Gnome Do?

Sure, and it's a natural idea.  Natural language interfaces have been
tried on and off since the 1960's, but they have never really caught
on, and there's probably a reason for that.  Quicksilver took off
because it added a bunch of features that made such interfaces work
well, one of them being an unambiguous and intuitive separation of
verbs and objects.

Possibly.  The problem is that because Ubiquity's interface doesn't
allow some forms of interactions, Ubiquity's plugins will be less
functional and useful than they would be if Ubiquity had a more
Quicksilver-like interface.

In any case, I was foremost interested in whether this was a simple
"hey, natural language sounds good to me" decision or whether people
had actually done an in-depth analysis and evaluation of different
interfaces.
