At first I didn't really look into it. After all, having the excellent LaunchBar and SpotLight tools handy was making me really happy already. Butler seemed like just another goodie in my menu bar, one among the multitude of tools that try to complement each other, without really making your life that easy at all.
Then I started playing with Butler. First of all, yes, it's a great interface to configure, with a good help section too. The kind of quality we love, and it's even free...
So I played with it, making most of my setups (directories, applications, web bookmarks, even keystrokes macros for my Mail application) invisible from the Finder interface. And I defined some shortcuts to activate all these. Plus shortcuts to rate iTunes songs!
It worked so far very nicely! Sometimes I noticed some delay in the initial caching of Butler, but this will be likely tuned later. Butler is becoming my favorite tool to gain speed in my work. Does what an expensive QuickKeys does. Probably not the most sophisticated of its category but it's really, really great!
