For the complexity of the 8 transitions I cant believe how smooth and stable it is. Zero FC and I have come to prefer replacement contact widgets found in LPP. These transitions from home screen to home screen are like nothing else I have seen. Very well implemented.

I don't know why people are wigging out about the $3 price for the app. A lot of time, effort and features have been put into the Launcher. If it were that easy then I'd expect to see the market flooded with good launchers just like the soundboards...(not dissing the soundboards)
I'm impressed with the speed of the EX launcher with the new transitions on. A lot more customization in this version.
X has been very good to me and probably the best 3bucks I spent on an app. It's feature packed easy to make mine and I haven't seen a single hiccup due to the app.
I will stick with stock, sadly I want some Sense candy but that would mean I need to wait for Sense to hit Gingerbread, then a stable port to Nexus S

That's doubtful seeing sense is optimized only for snapdragon processors and doesn't work well on anything else but I also want sense but this launcher is much better than the blur launcher
Took the plunge and purchased the ADW EX, so far so good but I can't test everything because I'm currently at work, so I'll play around with it more at home.
One thing that bothers me, and I hope it's addressed to the developer, is the Phone Settings link is embedded in the ADW settings, I liked how the free version of ADW had a "More" button and opened up two links for ADW Settings and Lock Desktop. Other than that, I backed up everything from the previous ADW, renamed it and restored those settings with EX, minus re-adding the widgets, and everything is fine.

I keep starting my day with ADW Ex thinking It will win me over. It really is very very nice.
However, by the end of the day I'm back to LP. It's the dockbar in LP that gets the most use from me, and I miss it when it's not there.

What is so special and so important about the LP+ dockbar? It's a place for shortcuts... that's it. It doesn't cook your dinner or wash your clothes for you, nor gives you a raise at work.

Swipe gestures for alternate shortcuts. Pop-ups for bookmarks, missed messages, missed calls, recent apps/task-switcher that is better than the stock task-switcher. Unread mail counters attached to mail shortcuts. Message counters attached to message shortcuts. Just to name a few things off the top of my head. It's most effective because it opens more screen real-estate.
I'm not knockin on ADW Ex... as I mentioned above I find it really good. I'd just like to see it add more dockbar functionality.
And if it could cook dinner and wash clothes, I'd be happier than a pig in slop.
The notification bar at the top will tell you all of those missed calls/emails/messages/etc as well...

Can anyone tell me what the "power control" widget is called (and who makes it) that is featured on screen shot #4 of the previews of ADWLauncher EX in the app market? It looks like it allows for 7 toggle features....thanks.....

I've been using adw ex for a couple of days now, and it really is pretty sweet. The screen transitions and hidden dock bar are probably two of my favorite parts. Oh, and the cube app drawer animation.
I've been having a lot of times when I'd press home from being in an app, and then my home screens would be empty and take a minute to populate. And than a bit longer before si could switch to the next screen. Sense did this for me a lot too though, and adw doesn't seem to be any worse, really.

In ADWSettings->General Behavior->System Preferences check the box for System persistent. This should help with this redraw. Although there is a 'Dangerous' disclaimer for it, I've used this since ADW added it in the original ADW.Launcher and have never had issues with it set.
Thanks, I'll try that!
I wonder why it's labeled as being dangerous.

On some devices it may cause instability, so they put that there just to give you a heads-up that something MAY happen, but probably won't.
