Supports extensions in Python
With Ulauncher you can easily add and update third party extensions. From kill process to windows switching, many of them work very well. The extension API is documented and if you know Python you can create and share your own extensions.

If you are not that patient of a person and want something to just work off the bat this won't be for you
It requires you at least install notepad++ or similar, learn what it means if '#" is displayed on a line in the config file. Other then that, the dev. explains everything about the setup you could possibly want to know on his site.

Whole configuration takes place in config files
This means there's a bit of a learning curve, but once you got how it works, it's great.
