It's the OS's domain to (quickly) start applications, and OS's are
pretty good at that. If you want to start anything particularly
quickly on...
Windows 7: you can add it to the task bar, attach it to the start
menu, add it to the desktop
Windows Vista or below: you can add it the Quick Launch bar, attach it
to the start menu, add it to the desktop
Gnome 2: add it to the panel or the desktop
Gnome 3: add it to the dock-like thing in the application overview
Unity: add it to the desktop or the floating panel
KDE: add it to the panel, the desktop, or attach it to the the K menu
(I believe)
Mac OS X: add it to the dock

I really believe, the quick-starter should just go.
