File search and acting on files is a lot more intuitive in Alfred, and the default results are tweaked to my needs so I usually don’t even need to activate a workflow. I just ⌘ space and search for an app/movie/document/image/contact/bookmark etc.
Also, the new Universal Actions [1] feature really makes this acting on files thing so much more useful.
I like to use Raycast instead for more visual results.
