Hacker News Reader

Doesn't Quicksilver already offer this same functionality? I'm also unsure if I would use this app.

Sure, using Alfred without the power pack

    ctrl+space 
    "Mail" 
    cmd+n 
    "person@example.com" 
    tab(x3) 
    "Subject"
    tab(x5)
    "Message Body"
    shift+cmd+d

Tabs may vary.

I have no problems without using Alfred, Mail is always open : cmd+tab

I would have no use for the original app in the link, I mean how hard is it to just do cmd+tab and cmd+n in Mail ?

The reason is I can leverage muscle memory with alfred. I don't need to look at my screen to determine which app is mail. I can slap ctrl+space and type mail in the time it would take to cmd+tab to it.
