Unlike the default "run command" dialogs this one features tab completion. When you start typing a command and press tab you'll get all the commands starting with the letters you typed in a drop down menu. You can also run full commands in it such as adding options to programs you are executing.

In short, I love it.

Now I gotta tweak it out for my setup.

I like the tab completion and program assignments in gmrun.

Hooray for choice! :)
