I like text-based stuff in general, so having a launcher that displays my favorites app as text and launches any app as soon as I type the beginning of its name is a real plus for me.

OLauncher has these features and has a smaller footprint than default launchers, sl I swapped.
But afaik there’s nothing “wrong” with the AOSP launcher.
What’s a launcher?
Controls your home screen and app drawer. Nova was the popular one until they sold out.

It boils down to preferences imho.

What did Nova do to sell out? This is the first I’ve heard that
