It's popular because it's free like with many other go team apps. You get a complete app with all the features as promise, you just have to put up with the ads. I have tried it a few times, never really like it, I think it's the childish cartoon liked themes that may have put me off. As far as the customization went, it had about the same if not more than some of the ics based launchers such as nova and apex, but not as smooth in the way it ran in general. It's a real resource hog. I'm currently using another go team product next 3D launcher, but that's for another disscusion.
All of the major launchers are free, including Nova Launcher. And have been for years I think.

I paid for all of them. I am here to tell you they are perfectly usable without paying for them...all key features are unlocked. The main perks you get by paying are things like different screen transitions. The free version of Nova Launcher is better than the GEL launcher that comes with the Nexus 5 IMO.Technically they are only half free since you have to pay to get the premium
I'm very happy with Nova Prime, but almost 2.5 million 5 star ratings for GO Launcher is saying something. That's ten times the number of 5 stars for Nova and thirty times that for Apex.
Perhaps it is telling us you don't have to be good to be successful, just popular.
