i love YAM but it's too buggy on my phone unfortunately. i'm currently using Unlauncher. i've also been keeping an eye on folder launcher — it's probably my perfect launcher but it's not stable/polished enough for me yet (its development has just started)
I use Niagara Launcher, the paid pro variant, it has lots of icon customization and you can put a widget on the home screen. It expends also a Mediaplayer if playback is detected. You can have a pinned list of applications and can swipe to see all of your non-hidden apps, also as a list.
I'm also a sucker for List Launcher, it's just so much cleaner than grids.
Sadly it's not FOSS (just mentioning since we are in FOSS community).
I would have paid for the one-time pro payment even if it was FOSS and was just to support developers. It's really good.

Oh yeah my bad.
I also use Niagara Launcher. I know it's not FOSS, but non of these have the mix of effortlessness and functions like Niagara.
Still worth mentioning for the FOSS devs who might be looking for features to include.
I love list launchers, but I just can't stop using Kvaesitso. It has a list mode for apps and one optional dock for your first x amount of favorites. But it really shines when it comes to widgets. Swipe up to go through a widget list.
I need to have my two coffee timers and one tea timer widget as well as my step counter and audiobook player, so I need something with widgets and Kvaesitso does it so well.
KISS launcher on minimal UI mode. FOSS and on fdroid.
I've tried a bunch of list-based launchers but I've bounced off them all, even on my tablet where I use fewer apps. Still interested in other people's experiences, though. Maybe I'll try again.
I used to use μLauncher and KISS Launcher. The former is available on Accrescent, while the latter looks nice.
