Never had it crash, mess anything up or freeze my mac. This is always one of the top 5 apps I download or install on a os reinstall or new computer.

Anyway, Qs is an extremely powerful application. what it can do, is up to your imagination; from adding contact/reminder to your ical to resizing images. The potential is infinite. there is a definite learning curve here. one should not expect to be proficient @ it in a few minutes. it takes me a day or two to get a hang of it by consulting the manual, tutorials out there, or what have you. Even after using it for 2 years, I am still learning it. This is THE single app that I use most at any given time. I cant imagine living w/o it. There are countless of guides on how to use Qs. One starting place: http://mysite.verizon.net/hmelman/Quicksilver.pdf and for those who has used Qs before, here is a tip on how to use QS w/o using the "enter" key: http://blacktree.cocoaforge.com/forums//viewtopic.php?p=23273#23273 @shadownight : try even the cube interface. it’s really wicked.

To use that interface, go to the Appearance section of the Prefs (Press Command-, with the QS interface to the front). You'll see a pop-up menu that lets you select Bezel instead of Primer.
