I went like this: Launchy -> KeyPirinha -> PowerToys (got too slow) -> UELI

It works really well for me, I've been using it for two years now.

I checked UELI out. It looks nice. But call me old-fashioned, I don't need electron based launcher sitting there idle using 169Mb of RAM while doing nothing. Launchy is doing roughly the same in 5Mb of RAM.

I hear you, that's the #1 issue people have with ueli. Even though it's electron based, I feel like at least it's properly made performance wise. Bringing it up and the listing is both instant. I also really like that it does fuzzy search, and a ton of plugins by default (windows 10 settings, currency converter, etc).
