> Is there any particular reason you use Alfred vs Spotlight?

Edit: I'm not the OP.

Alfred has a few options like find and open which allow you to directly open files. It seems more minimalist than spotlight. You can customize it a little better IMHO (they have a full version that has more features). And finally, you can do google searches and a few other web-related queries directly from alfred. Overall I would highly recommend Alfred.

cool, thanks. I think I might check it out. It's certainly 'pretty'.

edit: testing it out now. It seems to be more responsive than spotlight. Liking it so far :)
