openlauncher - A fork of an old version of lawnchair that went it's own way, reasonably competent although a bit rough around the edges at times.
Are there any new launchers that have came out recently that are worth checking out?

KISS launcher - A Simplistic launcher focused on minimalism. You get one window, one line of favorites, one widget and a searchbar. The ability to tag apps is great and the search focused useage I fine quite pleasing. I do wish you could have more widgets but combining it with KWGT and Popup widget 3 has been my go-to solution.
