I bought and paid for Nova Launcher like 15 years ago and it’s been my go-to for that time; however, over the last year or so it’s been abandoned and is a buggy mess.
What ship should I jump onto? (stock google launcher is giving me the ick)

Same one I’ve been using for the past… 14 years? Smart Launcher. Great UI, and means when I get a new phone I don’t need to learn a new UI :D
+1 for smart launcher. I got it back when the paid version was like 5 bucks. It’s more now, but I’ve been very happy with it overall.
Lawnchair also looks great. I’d consider switching if Smart Launcher becomes enshittified or if Lawnchair has better features.
I like the categorization, so if I do end up switching it would probably be to QuickDraw. It was… Fine when I used it, just having to manually sort apps got tedious. SL has decent autosorting, so I switched back
I switched to Smart Launcher because it was the only one I found that mentioned being able to import my Nova backup. The transfer wasn’t perfect, but extremely good.
Yeah, it was my second smart phone ever, and my first android (first was an iPhone 4s that my grandmother got me. I very much did not want it, and told her as much before she got it), so I didn’t have a previous launcher. Just tried like 10 of them, and liked SL more than any of the others I’d tried. I think Nova was in that lot xD
