FOSS launcher options?

I really like the simple, stock - ish layout on my home screen, which rules out a few popular suggestions like Niagara.

  • I liked Lawnchair, but development is dead. Even the new alpha hasn't been updated in a year or more, and is missing features.
  • Neo Launcher perhaps came close to being the most ideal, but it is buggy as hell and also hasn't been updated in a year
  • Nova is what I'm using now, but I hate that it does not remember the drawer groups for each app once they're reinstalled. I work as an app tester and having to sort work apps manually every time drives me up the wall

Does anyone here have any suggestions?

  • Maybe I'm leaving myself hanging out, but I'm still using lawnchair because I like it! Perhaps worth using again?

    • I really like having a plain home screen that I can put widgets onto, so that leaves Niagara out

      • Sorry, I didn't know lawnchair was related to Niagara.

        • Woops sorry I think I replied to the wrong comment. Lawnchair is pretty great, but I shifted to Neo where at least the community is a little active.
