I use Kvaesitso, and have used it for a while now. I like it! https://kvaesitso.mm20.de/
I don't think it gets bonus points though

I second Kvaesitso! It takes a while to get used to since it is not home screen based, but it is super quick plus the major advantage over KISS launcher, you can add widgets ๐
I use productivity launcher. Its very barebones, works well, quick access to my apps and it's not bright and colorful so my phone is a little less appealing to look at and might reduce my screen time a tiny bit.

Ratio Launcher ! Nothing compares, i always end up going back to it . Not most customizable but it being well designed more than makes up for it . I hope they open source it
Looks interesting, I'll check it out! Do you like the combined messages / conversations feature?
I use ADW because when I switched phones my new version of Android didn't have the carousel home screen and it was the first one I found ๐
I have an S22+ and I've been using one UI for years now. What do you find inadequate about it if you don't mind my asking?
I have found samsung's software to be the most feature complete android experience so far.
I always end up sticking with the stock one. It's usually the only one where widgets work properly.
Smart Launcher. It feels more polished than Nova Launcher, and has most of the features I'd expect from an alternate launcher.
With that said tho, I'm actually using the stock Pixel launcher because... Why not, it's not really bad.
Since gestures don't work with 3rd party launchers, I am stuck with the default one. Hope Google fixes this issue.

SimpleLauncher. Does everything I need it to and nothing more.
before I got a pixel I used Action Launcher to have a clean, stock-enough, look no idea if it's still getting any updates but it would still be my go-to anyday
I've been rocking OLauncher for a few months now, I love it. Cutting down the extra noise on my home screen felt good.
Smart launcher for me. The automatic app sorting along with its ambient theme is super awesome. Highly recommend it.
I have been using Action Launcher for yeeeears. my favorite feature from it is cover: it's like folder, except the first item is the "cover" that opens itself instead of the folder, and you can swipe down to open the folder, useful to put some web apps under the cover of chrome for example.
Smart Launcher for me. I've been using it since the Smart Launcher 3 days, and it's really still a launcher with no-nonsense UI that doesn't change a lot, for example you can still modify it to feel just like SL3 with the left side app menu and gestures. Plus the design language used in SL6 is just beautiful to me.
Liked it so much I bought the pro version of SL3 and later on, get the full license for SL5 (and onwards).**
I also use Niagara Launcher. Went pro about two years ago.
I like the minimalistic look and the alphabetical drawer. Also the widget for calendar and clock is neat. And the media widget only shows up when needed, as well as the chosen media apps.
