Used Nova for close to ten years. Switched last year to Kvaesitso.
I recommend everyone still using Nova to look into options and switch. It's not as scary as it seems.
What happened to people? I used to try out a new launcher every other week. Did it not long ago until I settled for Niagara. Might try out Octopi some day.
People are generally hesitant on installing apps. I know so many people, even (or especially) young ones, that buy a 1000€+ device and only ever use the pre-installed apps.
For me it wasn't just "an app". Your launcher defines your entire phone experience. I had used Nova for so long and tweaked it juuust the way I liked it. To me, that was my phone. It was daunting to try and switch.
Really enjoying Kvaesitso!
