I have ADWEX its way better than free. Other than that I like GO and Regina is nice but there are just a few things I can't deal with all the time

These days, Go Launcher, its free, its skinable, and also has a bunch of free widgests (for me, a sense-like calendar, and a messaging widget).
Go Launcher, I love the sphere effect.:D
I second both of these... I'm using Go Launcher EX + Transparency theme + ALL go widgets... I started using it because see below...
LauncherPro Plus. I just switched my wife's G2 to LPP because the default ADW in CM7 is laggy as hell.
I purchased LPP, and it was great on virtuous 0.8 - 1.0, but after version 0.8.5 on it just got to be horrible... always force closing, laggy as hell and just plain horrible... also with "auto-rotate" off, when you open the keyboard it doesn't rotate the homescreen as it should...

really frustrating cause I not only purchased it, I purchased the LP Sense theme for the built-in LP widgets so they would look exactly like sense, as I use sense roms... can't do it anymore... every time you come out of an app back to LPP, or if you open the keyboard when on a homescreen with LPP widget, it freezes up for almost a minute and then force closes and takes almost another minute to "refresh" everything on that homescreen...

Go Launcher EX has none of these issues, it is very slight lag when opening keyboard, but I can handle a 0.5-2sec lag depending on what all is running in the background... 60-90seconds with LPP I CAN NOT... federico needs to get it together and finish up his complete rewrite, hopefully then it will be useable... but I still think it will be too little too late as I have come to absolutely LOVE GoLauncherEX + horizontal looping app drawer + cylinder effect...

I switched to Android about 4 months ago (I can't believe what I have been missing all this time!) and having tested quite a few ROMs and launchers, I have settled (at least for the moment being) for Virtuous Unity 2.35.0 with ADW EX.

Reason being: This particular ROM (with the corresponding kernel + bulletproof tweaks) is the one I find to give me longer battery life whilst being very fast and complete despite it being a Sense ROM - which I'm not particularly keen on - otherwise I actually prefer MIUI (except for its launchers original iPhone looks and the problem it seems to have with battery life). As per the launcher, ADW EX seems to me the cleanest and fastest of the "no so simple" launchers I have tried! (That being: GO EX, ADW EX and LauncherPRO) - ADW EX is as customizable as GO EX but not so laggy as the latter, and in comparison to LauncherPRO, I find ADW much more complete and customizable. I'm on HTC Desire Z

PS: (Apologies if my English is not 100% correct)

I use Go Launcher EX as well. The main reason I do so is because it is very similar to Launcher Pro in terms of widgets. However, Go Launcher seems to be a little faster and has more themes that I like. Also, there is no lag after reboot with Go Launcher as there is with Launcher Pro.

Though only for HTC, but I like Sense 3.5 a lot. After removing some unused (by me) apps from the great rom, it even runs fine on my Desire Z.
