Basically, what the title says. Do you use any app, that is proprietary, but either has no OSS alternatives or they're all not good enough? If there is an alternative, what keeps you from switching?

I recently switched launchers. Have you tried Kvaesitso? It's the best I've tried. It allows you to create categories in your app drawer, and organize that way. I've really been liking it.

Thank you for your suggestion.

Having just tried it, it is not for me. The categories is there, but having the search/app drawrr on the top won't work me, especially with these stupid large phone everyone makes. (I'm guessing theres a way to change it, but I didnt get that far)

The ultimate reason its not for me is how widgets are a scrolling thing. It's a different idea, but I like the widgets on my home screen where I can passively see them.

If there's a way to change that, I didnt see it. I didn't even find a way to get rid of the big clock at the bottom.
