The great thing about Quicksilver is the grammar - it's actually object, verb, indirect object. That lets you do things like <file>, <email to>, <person>.
Alfred didn't have that basic structure when I tried it. I'm sure it's quite powerful, probably more so than QS given the latter's long stagnation. But I never bothered to figure out how to use Alfred effectively because QS is so easy and works great. There were a couple of bugs that were annoying for a while, but they've been fixed.
Kakoune doesn't mention the "indirect object" part of the grammar, but apparently it'll prompt for more information when needed, so it's pretty close.
Alfred does use that structure, and as far as I remember, it always has. I can indeed do <file>, <email to>, <person> in Alfred (though my most common object, verb, indirect object sequence is <file>, <open in>, <app>).
