I'm sticking with my Slickrun and HotKeyz combination which give me all the functionality I need for my daily work. Cheers.

Using the caps lock key to activate and launch... seriously??? If you like Slickrun and Launchy, then you should take a look at Keybreeze. It's kind of a cross between the two because Keybreeze is fast, you can customize your keywords (just like Slickrun), but the UI, auto-complete, and amount of features is amazing -- it beats all the other launchers IMO... and it's free, unlike Enso.

Launchy looks a lot like Colibri which I also used to use until I magic-worded my way needing the start menu more than maybe once a day. I'll give up slickrun when they pry it from my cold dead oh hey wait this looks even shinier.... Seriously, though, I tried it and it looked pretty neat but a) having to hold down a key while i typed was awful and b) it kept leaving an 'on top" window on my screen saying "no text selected" that I couldnt close or hide. So, maybe the next version.... What I'd like to see (and hey, a little boy can dream, can't he) is a launcher that integrates with my del.icio,us bookmarks, and as I enter tags, the list of available sites is filtered. Then apply this same principle to the dozen or so other applications I use that make heavy use of tagging. I <3 Slickrun too.
