I've seen quite a few launchers on F-Droid, but I really fail to see what their advantages over the stock one are. I mean, what can be meaningfully different about arranging apps in a grid? But I guess the existence of so many options goes to show I just don't get the gist of it.

So what launchers actually provide some interesting features that make it worth switching to them?

Hard to improve upon perfection then :)

Sometimes, code just gets to a place where it works and you can leave it alone for a while. I'm sure the dev is across unLauncher - it's been specifically mentioned in places like r/dumbphones and the like and is somewhat popular in digital detox circles.

It's a nice, stable launcher, that uses minimal resources and works on very low end hardware. Hell, I've used it on Android based flip phones.

I'm unabashedly a fan.
