Basically, what the title says. Do you use any app, that is proprietary, but either has no OSS alternatives or they’re all not good enough? If there is an alternative, what keeps you from switching?

Same. I’ve been attempting to de-Google and stick with FOSS where possible, but only Lawnchair has come close to Nova Launcher, but it’s not without its limitations like setting a primary home screen, and better widget padding and removing round corners.

I’m still experimenting with others, but many are no longer under active development either.

nova launcher has been the last app without foss replacement for me until I found neolauncher.

Using the option ‘categorize apps as tabs’ I have the great drawer behavior as with Nova.

Though development is slow, you can get in contact with them on the matrix channel.

(Oh, just remembered that I still have one non foss app for my Yamaha receiver)

Cool, first impressions are pretty good.

It took a minute to find, the play store has some not free thing. But I found the github page.
