The one thing I really missed about Growl was using it to display status messages from certain of my own scripts - scripts from which I want to see the results, but which I don’t want to interrupt me with an alert dialog. It ended up I didn’t miss Growl much, and didn’t get around to re-installing it until last week. When I upgraded to Leopard full-time a few months ago, I started with a clean installation and only added back third-party UI utilities one-by-one, when I actually missed them. Unlike a dialog box alert that (a) pops up in the center of your display and (b) you must dismiss manually, a Growl message can appear off to the side and will disappear on its own after a few seconds, no user action required. Growl is an interesting idea - a system-wide notification system with self-dismissing messages. Using FastScripts as a Lightweight Alternative to Growl Friday, 8 February 2008
