DxTop vs Launcher Pro vs Adw

I used DXtop when i first got my droid, and used it up until i rooted my droid (months and months ago) the main reason i stopped using it was that the bugs just kept building up and it didnt seem like it was being updated much. It was a great launcher but it almost seemed as if the developer toke the money he got and just up and left. Now granted i havent used this in months so i could be wrong now. The diamond home screen setup was nice though. made it easy to get to each screen.
LauncherPro: used it almost right away and havent turned back since then. The developer is constantly adding features and pushing out updates which is a definite plus
its really smooth and doesnt "hang" like other launchers when doing stuff. i dont really notice any bugs with it, and even if i do its fixed within hours with a quick update. i purchased the Plus version not really for the widgets (even though they are nice) but to support the dev.
ADW: used it for maybe a day and it just seemed slow and laggy compared to launcherpro so i uninstalled right away.
All in all, DXtop was great when it first came out but not so much now. ADW seems laggy and slow, and well launcherpro is just amazing
but then again this is all my opinion

I just tried launcher pro and although I didn't give it about an hour, I installed and went back to DxTOP. I would really miss the category folders and the diamond configuration too much. As far as updates go, the developer doesn't throw a new one out once a week, but over the past couple of months, there have been a handful that has helped in smoothness.
Opposite for me. I was using GDE at the time, but gave DxTop a try. It didn't last long.
Panda, DxTop, Helix, GDE and Sweet Home are ones I've tried, but all I have now is Launcher Pro (which I donated to add some widgets) and the standalone (i.e. for non-rooted) ADW.
