GTD with Launchbar and scripts
Saul Rosenbaum sent us the tip on this one, and he points out that we're a little "Quicksilver centric" around here at TUAW. He's right, we do love Quicksilver, but it's not the only launcher on the block. Launchbar is another good one (and actually, I've been playing with Sapiens a lot lately, so look for a post on that one soon, too).If replacing Finder with Quicksilver isn't your thing, maybe running GTD apps with Launchbar is more up your alley. Saul has a short writeup on how to get Launchbar running a trigger (he uses "TD") that you can throw short notes into to work with the GTD system. It's a simple process-- since Launchbar already supports shell scripts, you can create a script, hook Lauchbar up to it, and pretty soon you're taking down tasks and notes at a moment's notice.

I love launchbar's Send to thing.
You highlight text or an image, hold apple space and type in the first letters of a program you want it to send the contents to... if quicksilver has it, I am sorry, don't hate me.

Sapiens is the best launcher for me. All those keyboard based launchers make me feel like back in the 80 when all I had was a keyboard and a green screen

I have to agree with marcus, Launcher bar and Quicksilver aren't really innovative as Sapiens.
Since TUAW reviewed it last week I am totally sold to it
