Wow, so i was pretty excited for spotlight.. except I realized how much I like the quicksilver interface when i tried to switch over.

#1. I have a lot of files with the same name. spotlight doesn't show the location.
#2. As far as I know, you can't do anything but open the file.
#3. Quicksilver is faster. instant results, every time.
#4. more options w/ quicksilver, such as moving files.

Of course, I realize that quicksilver might dependent on spotlight, and my complaint isn't with the underlying technology, it's the excellent interface I've grown to love.

Spotlight is now been delegated to another keystroke, and Quicksilver b40 is now installed and at my side again.
