Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Interesting layout
Swiping horizontally switches between home screens, app drawer and browser while swiping vertically switches home screens.
Pro Includes innovative features
Lucid allows having the browser as one of home screens, changing what's displayed on a home screen depending on device's orientation and quickly launching apps from a favorites sidebar that can be accessed anywhere by swiping from the left edge.
Pro Widget support
In spite of being a basic minimal launcher, it supports widgets.
Cons
Con Sidebar only on one side
The side where the sidebar appears can not be switched, making for a difficult launcher to use in the left hand.
Con No customization
In terms of total customization, it is even more spartan than KISS.
Con Only one widget
In spite of this, the widget chosen takes up all the desktop space.
