I have been using Quicksilver/Launchy for so long that having icons on my desktop that aren't drives feels like a deep personal failing. Wait, what was that quote?

    Comic Sans was designed for Microsoft Bob, which in many ways was a precursor to Cortana or Siri – for people who had problems with computers.

Siri wasn't designed for people who had problems with computers. It was designed for people who got sick of typing with their thumbs. If that is your chosen method of file management and discovery I shall cast no aspersions but I will argue that just because lots of people don't seek out better tools does not mean that the most-used tool is the best.
