I’ve been using it for years, went through 3 upgrades of os x. Never had an issue with it ever. It’s probably one of the best free installs I’ve put on my mac by far.

Got those links, hopefully.

It seems like it’s still being updated, although on a fairly piecemeal basis – see the Google Code page here: http://code.google.com/p/blacktree-alchemy/

The developer (http://www.blacktree.com/) apparently now works full time for Google and QS is hence just a side-project.

There’s also a reasonably current Google Groups discussion here: http://groups.google.com/group/blacktree-quicksilver/topics?gvc=1

Thanks for the heads up on that Sean.

Ive been using QS for years now without any issues. Will look into your claims that it is not working well with latest version of Leopard. Would have be great if you could link to some sites that talk about the issues you are talking about.

Of course you don’t mention that QS is no longer being updated, and has terrible reliability on the latest version of Leopard. Very unfortunate.
