I slightly preferred MarshmallowLibrarian too, for little reasons:
(1) It's integrated with the system-wide Find buffer.
(2) I like those marshmallow peeps in the app icon. ;)
BUT it apparently treats underscores as punctuation, so a search for "objc_msgSend" turns up nothing. Plus, it crashed a couple of times, including once when I tried to index PDF files. Also, I prefer MT's method of selecting which index to search. I usually want to search just one index or another (as opposed to a combination), and MT requires fewer clicks to accomplish this. So I went back to MT. No regrets; they're both nice.
Every once in a while I check for a newer Marshmallow version (recognizing that it's free, so I'm not complaining). Just now I tried to go to <
http://www.toastedmarshmallow.com> and apparently it no longer exists, or is down. John (Hvrnkvist), maybe you can comment on this?

Point taken.
