Android launcher actually worth switching to? (lemmy.ml)

I've seen quite a few launchers on F-Droid, but I really fail to see what their advantages over the stock one are. I mean, what can be meaningfully different about arranging apps in a grid? But I guess the existence of so many options goes to show I just don't get the gist of it.

So what launchers actually provide some interesting features that make it worth switching to them?

You have AI bullshit on Niagara? I looked around on mine and dont see it. I'll uninstall right away if I see it.

Its in their customization options. The built in wallpapers and shit are all AI.

I dont use those, once I see it in the features like AI chatbots its gonna go. Many of the "Ready Made Themes" are the same images that have been in Niagara since it was in beta. So I dont doubt there are AI themes but many in there are older than AI.
