I use Spotlight: Command+Space, then a few characters of the app's name, like Exc(el), Saf(ari), and then return.
I use FastScripts
It gives me a single menu of most for the Apps, scripts, docs etc I commonly use.
I've assigned Keyboard shortcuts to a lot of them.

I use Witch. I have it configured like the classic Application Switcher Menu where it's an icon in the menu bar; clicking it drops down a list of running applications with sub-menus for each application listing the open documents for that application.

Yep... I'm a pretty heavy user of the Alfred launcher. It has some nice workflows I use and also does clipboard management.

I am using Alfred.
While not a traditional launcher per-say, I also use Bartender 2, which has many of the same goals in terms of workflow organization. I am also using ControlPlane (courtesy of Mr. Weaselboy.)

Botha re used frequently depending on where my hands are placed. Command+space or F4 depending on what's more apposite the situation. Or sometimes pinching the trackpad. I think I mostly launch apps with Launchpad and use Spotlight for other things, like quick calculations, file lookups etc.
And then I have apps that are permanently assigned certain workspaced. Not relevant to the launcher thing but I found it somewhat apposite to mention nonetheless.
