Dr Drang is doing hard work for the rest of us:

Back in October, after over ten years of using LaunchBar, I decided to give Alfred a try. Five months is, I would say, a fair trial, and while there were a few things about Alfred I preferred, last week I returned to LaunchBar and am happy to be back.

I too have tried to switch to Alfred but never have I dedicated more than a couple of weeks to such a sojourn. I cannot help but return to LaunchBar. By the features, the two applications are nearly identical. Something about LaunchBar always feels more ‘normal’ to me, however. I shouldn’t be surprised, having established habits and muscle memory with it over the past decade.

LaunchBar 6 is now almost five years old. Though it has seen regular updates during that time, I can’t help feeling that it is becoming neglected. I desperately hope that Objective Development are dedicated to its continued development.
