Kvaesitso! I've been using it for about two years. It takes a little bit getting used to a search based launcher but once you've gotten used to it, everything is so quick. Speed up animation speeds to 0.5x in dev settings and man it's like doing kung fu with your finger tips.

I was initially dismissing Kvaesitso because it was so different but I've since come to appreciate and really enjoy it.

I'd recommend you to at least try it for a while before you slam down the opinionated hammer.
