Does anyone here uses it, and can ELI5 to me why Alfred is so good?
- you can control your whole machine with it, so I don't have to use mouse anymore for - sleep/shut down/volume/
- extra indexing for folders/documents/images
- web search in different sites (gmail/wiki/amazon,....)
- clipboard history
- snippets (ascii art for luls ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, but most importantly I use this for script snippets I need to use in some UIs/ when I'm remote in some vim session in some server
- workflow - MS ToDo implementation, quick little things like switch off wifi, set dns to 1.1.1.1/unset, ...
- least but not last, never had a problem with db update beeing stuck on indexing and taking 150% CPU like with spotlight
