With a little practice, it is much faster than looking for a mouse, and
you don't need to remember any fancy per-application keystroke

With most app launchers like QuickSilver and Butler, all you have to
remember is the name fo the app. You type the first letters and it shows
up on the interface :-)
To fancy complicated shortcut to remembr for each app :-)

OK, I was overstating my case. I like using the Finder, because the
same trick works for navigating anywhere for any purpose, and I have an
irrational hatred of anything that steals keystrokes before handing
them to where the system or current application should deal with them.

If I wanted to do it the Quicksilver way, I'd simply use Spotlight. Or
I would if it did not sulk so often. ;-) e.g. "cmd-space Wo" is enough
to bring Word up as the top hit in a second. You then hit downarrow
return and it's running. That extra downarrow is a real bummer!
