Alfred 2 Workflows

Not many, but the point is you don't need to call up a terminal window. There are various 'visor' implementations of terminals, but they annoy the crap out of me. I much prefer being able to invoke Alfred and doing short one-liners from it

i couldn't live without the dash workflow.

Why is that more useful than having a shortcut for Dash?

I've always just used the shortcut and searched in Dash. Although, I do tend to stick to mostly one set of documentation.

I think Alfred has good design, but which of these couldn't be done with a properly configured terminal?

I am the exact opposite, I prefer to do all these sorts of tasks in a 'visor' terminal and leave Alfred as little more than a pretty app launcher. Different strokes etc...

Having originally been a Quicksilver user back in the day (ah.... Quicksilver) I jumped to Launchbar when QS started to become more and more unreliable (I'm aware that it has recently rearisen, like a phoenix, from the ashes).

But the workflow aspect of Alfred 2 is quite appealing, I should probably give it a shot for a while.
