alt Hacker NewsI switched to KISS Launcher several years back and had been loving it. I like the philosophy of search-based launcher. This way, if I don't actively search for an app, I won't be distracted into opening one

I always find myself missing widgets with KISS.
But then when I use a launcher like lawnchair with widgets I rarely end up actually using them. Wish there was something like widget drawer that was FOSS tbh
I did this as well when the previous Nova launcher news came out. It took maybe a day to get used to, but I like it much more now - I have nothing to organize, I just access what I want to use instead. It feels natural.
KISS launcher user for about 5 years and never looking back. Search line for everything is actually faster then browsing list of icons.
I made the switch to KISS some time ago. Really like it! I haven't missed anything. Simple and does the job. No distractions.
KISS launcher is excellent. I've been using it for years now and would never go back to any other style of launcher.
The only improvement I could imagine is supporting multiple screens of widgets (i.e. swiping left/right or scrolling up/down).
