Minimalism: Spotlight Over App Launchers
Spotlight comes with the operating system. It’s already there. It’s going to index your hard drive and store that index somewhere. You may as well use it. Dedicated app launchers do have a bunch of features that Spotlight doesn’t but I don’t need those features and I don’t want a second index sitting on my hard drive for something I would only use once in a while. I just want to be able to tap on my keyboard a couple of times to launch an application or document. Spotlight does a great job of that for me.
