Would someone who has used BOTH Nova and Apex Launchers tell me the difference between the two? A lot more people seem to be using Nova and I would like to know if it's that much better. I have been using Apex for a couple years now.
I've used both, but to be honest, it's been quite a while since I've used Apex.
Both are pretty solid, IMO, but at the time when I tried them both out, I just liked Nova a little bit better...and now that I've paid for Nova Prime, I haven't had any incentive to switch back and/or try Apex out again. I really don't think you can wrong with either.
I actually have no issues using TouchWiz what so ever, however I still use Nova Launcher Prime due to more customization and features.
For many, that's all it really is. I've never had a problem with Touchwiz, and some of the widgets are pretty nice, but I really like the ability to expand the icon rows and columns in both the homescreens and app drawers...basically, Nova (or Apex or [fill in the blank, etc]) simply has more customizable options, which is why I really prefer to use it over the built-in TW launcher.
I also like having the ability to easily backup/restore my homescreen configs with Nova

FWIW, I believe it's actually the "Google Now Launcher"...

And much like Touchwiz, I think it's "alright", but my main reason against using it is the fact that I can't expand the number of rows/columns on my screens and app drawer.
EDIT: Oh, and just a note to anyone that is sideloading the GNL onto their S5...
