The launcher itself is really fantastic, but over several installs & configuration tweaks - Albert always ended up having memory leak issues. At one point, it was using upwards of 7Gb of RAM - which is about 6.95Gb too high.

Flagged Pros + Cons
Con Plugins are centrally managed
Con Settings are complex
Albert comes with lot of options. It includes two different theming engines hand hence two sets of themes. It has two different plugin systems (for Python or C++). You also get all the plugins and their settings when you install it, since they're all maintained in the same repo.
