TL;DR: Sold off, dev team was (figuratively) slaughtered, OG dev is pretty much out of the picture, new owner is planning on injecting ads into the launcher and we basically know nothing else about the future of it. I.e they’re turning it into a cash grab.
Comment on What launcher should I replace Nova with?

Is there something wrong with the Nova Launcher that I should know about?

That’s the whole reason I downloaded it was to get away from cash grab companies! Well I’m glad I found out, I’ll try Lawnchair now.

Is it ads for paid users as well?

They’ve said they’re gonna honor existing paid users but there are no guarantees.
