Dash home launcher is not like your average launcher. On first look you may not find it attractive or appealing (it is not) but it is very functional. It puts usability and functionality over looks. The launcher works around the concept of plugins. It has plugins for lots of stuff like phone, texts, calendar, weather, music, etc. all of which are easily accessible from the home screen.
