Before launcher is my favorite minimalist launcher. It's very simple and easy to use
Evie launcher. It's dead now, but I love it
SmartLauncher, here! I love the way it categorizes my apps for me. I like to have a few frequently used apps on my homepage with everything else tucked neatly away in my app drawer... Unfortunately most other launchers I've used alphabetize your apps all together, which I hate. If I feel like playing a game but I'm not sure which one I swipe to my Games page and just peruse them, for example.
