I really wish that this could be ported to Windows or Linux. I haven't heard much from the developer about that when asked; but it seems like a far fetched goal right now. Does anyone have suggestions for Windows that aren't Launchy (or, Launchy addons/improvements to use)?

Mind you, regularly disappointed I have to actually use Windows on a daily basis so.

I love Alfred and use it all the time, often for app-switching, but I also use Witch [1]. Big time-saver, especially for referring for documentation. Killer feature is switching between windows in the same application, something that is woefully impossible using the native OS X app switcher (something vanilla Windows has over vanilla OS X, hands-down).

You can use Cmd+~ to switch between application windows if they're in the same desktop.

It's a bit on hold for the moment but you can extend it in javascript and build new skins as well.
It's definitively not as polished as Alfred and there are a few things that are broken like catalogs.
Before that I used FARR which I like better than Launchy and is more like Alfred ihmo, it has a ton of options and can trigger some plugins on regex matchs.
It is a nice bundle indeed. One workflow I found is missing, though, is Dev Doctor: http://wemakeawesomesh.it/alfred-dev-doctor Easy to use, quick access to several languages (python, ruby, js, clojure) base documentation.
Disclosure: personal friend wrote dev doctor.

Hot damn, you blew me away: Since 30 Oct, 2012, @alfredapp has been used 3,492 times. Average 10.5 times per day
I don't know what happened to my earlier stats, maybe v1's stats was lost. But I think I was consistently 200+ or 300+ a day once I gotten used to using it. Works incredibly well as a task switcher once you map a few key single characters to apps (like v/vMacVim, x/Xcode, i/iTerm, s/Safari, c/Chrome etc).

How are you doing this? A simple hotkey, or … ?
