Default What's your favorite launcher, and why?

Title says it all. I've been cycling between sense, apex, go, and nova, but can't decide which one to stick with. I'm leaning towards nova. What do you guys think about your launchers?
Need some handpicked HD wallpapers sized for your EVO 4G LTE? Here are some that I found. (1270 as of 9/25)
Want to change your font on an ICS (or later) ROM? Better read this first.

I'm pretty impressed with Sense 4.0. My OG Evo was senseless 100% of the time, but I don't feel bogged down by it this time around.

I still have Apex installed and use it too... But find that I don't mind using sense.

Honestly, if someone modified sense to
A) accept gestures and b) added one more row to the home screen
I don't think I would really leave it.

The "frequent" tab in the app drawer and native folder support makes all the difference.

I agree...they made some quality improvements to it.
I normally switch the launcher quick but this time I'm still on Sense...not bad!

HTC Sense 4.

Mainly because I'm a Sense fan, I don't have a legit reason why .vs other launchers but it's what drew me to HTC.

Before it was just because they made the best WinMo phones.

Yup. Same here. I suppose mist of the things I like about it could probably be found in other launchers. Familiarity, I suppose. I like the adjustable transparency in app drawer, and resize all Widgets, and changing desktop grid (which i know is available in other launchers, well,...except sense)
