I switched to Lawnchair after One UI 6 rolled out on my phone with ridiculously ugly app icons. Way too large with an annoying font. I also found out that I prefer searching for apps over the app drawer method the default launcher forces.

All that's missing is also having the recents screen be from Lawnchair, but that's apparently still in the works for Android 14. If it's rolled out, I might consider rooting my phone, maybe even try out custom ROMs.
