Well said, and I completely agree.

I’ve been using μLauncher (github) for probably 6 months or so on my Pixel 8a.

I like it. I like trying a bunch of different apps for different things so I do a lot of Favorites/App management daily. Its also just a nice minimalist launcher. I’ve recently started taking more advantage of all the gesture options to quickly open apps as well from the home screen.

Edit: Forgot to mention μLauncher doesn’t show apps on the home screen. Instead you get the app drawer, a favorites “drawer” and a whole lotta gesture options you use from the home screen.
