Well managing running programs is actually on my todo list (switching to them, killing them, changing priorities), just seems like something better suited for a plugin so i've put it off for now..
Darwin:
Wow. Visited the website. Watched the videos. Read the review. YAWN...
The website is slick, the app looks pretty, the ideas are nothing new. So, while it was a pleasant viewing experience, it was not compelling and frankly I found the attempts to make me go "ooh, aah" about spending $64.95 for a suite with functionalities that have been available for YEARS for far less or for free mildly offensive. Ditto the Wall Street Journal review, which insults one's intelligence. The reviewer should be fired for being so sloppy - hasn't this joker heard of any other keyboard launcher or spellchecker? How does he or his employer justify his continued employment? Are they really paying him to warm the seat that he occupies in his office?
Going back to the app itself, I'd say that what the lead developer learned from his late father's experience at Apple has a lot more to do with hype than innovation...
jgpaiva:
EhEh Darwin.. My feelings exactly. Looks like the typical apple thing: make other's product beautiful, make it sound like a new revolutionary thing, make a cool webpage for it and sell it at 10X more than it's worth :)
From what i've seen in the movies, it doesn't sound to me that there's something important there.

I've been interested in this ever since Jef created the Canon Cat back in the 1980's. That was an amazing machine for its time. Ever since then it's been downhill all the way - more and more resources to less and less effect.

Lifehacker article on enso: http://lifehacker.com/software/application-launcher/is-enso-the-missing-quicksilver-app-for-windows-232582.php
Will FARR 3 be the killer quicksilver app on windows? It is indeed interesting why nothing has grown in the windows space as quicksilver has. I suspect OS X and its XCode frameworks are simply more integrated overall (along with universal applescript interfaces for many apps), and thus coding the many actions for launchable items comes together. The windows API simply doesn't make this easy.
