Branch Metrics sucks. They fired almost of all people working for Nova.

What is the best replacement? I'll hold on to Nova as long as possible, but if for some reason they screw it in some way...

Kvaesitso has risen to the top as my favorite launcher after trying a ton of launchers.

I don't understand why someone would want a "search-focused" launcher. You mean I have to bring up the on-screen keyboard and type out the name of an app instead of just scrolling & tapping an icon with 1-2 simple motions? Yuck. What am I missing?

If you have 100+ apps you're going to need either a ton of organization or a search tool. Some people will meticulously organize their apps into folders, while others go for the search
