Question Ranking
Pros
Pro It's also a launcher
Once you find the file you need, you can launch it or use custom actions.
Pro Search as you type everywhere
You can start typing on the desktop or any folders and it'll just search for you.
Pro Supports other explorers
It supports not only Windows Explorer but also XYplorer, Directory Opus, Total Commander and all the other explorer alternatives.
Pro Anyone can use it
It is free to use as it is donation-funded.
Pro Works with anyone's workflow
You can do anything, from launching applications, to adding, grouping and removing them without using the keyboard. There are also keyboard shortcuts available for those that do not like using the mouse, either way the app will work with whatever workflow works best for the user.
Pro Fast access and setup
It enables you to launch any application with very few clicks. If you organize your apps well, you get them in one single click. You may need two or three at most if you need to open a folder or move to another page. HotCorners is a great idea, allowing you to view WinLaunch without even clicking.
Even setting up your apps in it is fast and intuitive, with simple clicks and drag-n-drops.
Cons
Con Sometimes buggy
Con Inconvenient manual setup
After installed the first time you pull the launcher up there will be no apps contained within, this means every user will have to manually add the apps they would like in the launcher, which is time consuming. An auto population feature would be more convenient, sadly there is none.
Con No customizable icons or folders, no option to add single drives, no tool to make themes
