Anyone played with Enso?

I ran across this pretty nifty looking launcher/productivity tool called Enso.  I've downloaded the launcher and have been playing with it.  Unlike most everybody else, I haven't switched to Launchy yet from Slickrun.  (I *heart* Slickrun!).  Launchy just seemed a little to "pretty" for me I guess.  Slickrun is fast and its "magic words" have integrated themselves deeply into my work habits.

At first glance, Enso looks similar to Launchy, but from watching the demo, it seems to have some distinct advantages over your typical "launcher".  Although it will probably take me a little while to get used to holding down the Caps key while doing everything.

Anyone else played with Enso?  Do you like it better than Launchy and/or Slickrun?

I (heart) slickrun.

I use it a bit less now with Vista, since I can do almost the same thing by hitting the windows key and typing the name of the program I want to launch. Plus it is integrated with desktop search so I can pull up documents at the same time.

If Microsoft would add a way to add aliases to the start menu I would switch off of slickrun all together.

Serendipity that I should run across this post.

I was using an enso trial, but I never fully adopted it. Find and Run Robot was kinda cool, but again, I never fully got it. I had been a slick run user for a year plus and migrating off of it with all my customizations was a bit of a challenge.

I'm a recent launch adopter. It seems just as fast to popup as slickrun. Enso and FARR always seems sluggish on the initial keystroke, which is unacceptable!

I hope your experience is well!
