Niagara Launcher is the coolest thing I've seen happen for mobile interfaces since the first touch interface. It is so clean and well-designed, it makes everything else in iOS and Android look like a cluttery mess - all while adapting to what you need and offering quick access to everything on the phone.
Is it better than Nova? I've been using Nova for as long as I can remember.
It's completely different to Nova, and any other drawer based launcher. It has a free version so you can check it out. Personally, I don't like it but I totally get the appeal.
Nova was recently bought out by an ad company, so if that's not something you like then you might check out some FOSS alternatives such as Lawnchair or Neo Launcher (both are currently in development and less feature-rich than Nova though).
