Could you use Spotlight instead of Quicksilver?

minimalmac:

“Keeping with the theme of using the software that comes with your Mac, I gave up using QuickSilver and other similar tools when Leopard came out. 10.5 made Spotlight much faster, and it now does 90% of what I was using third party launcher tools for.”

I’m going to give this a shot for a week. I switched from Quicksilver to Google Quick Search to see how I liked it, and I’m not blown away. It works fine, but Quicksilver felt faster. Spotlight, since it’s right in the OS, might be even better.
