I really want to like this launcher but it has one annoyance I need help with! Can anyone tell me how you get rid of the solid line in the upper left corner by the clock? I'm sure it's supposed to serve some purpose as in aiding with noficiations but I find it very distracting and annoying. Anyone know where in the settings this line can be hidden if it can? Thanks!

Can you take a screenshot of it?
I have no such line. I usually have it set not to show the notification bar, but I just set it to show to see if I could see the line that you're seeing.

My preference of 3rd party launchers has to do with the added features.
3rd party launchers give the ability to rotate the home screen, launch many apps without having icons all over the screen or going into the app drawer, hide the notification bar and dock icons.
For instance, with Nova, you have the 5 dock icons at the bottom, just like TW, but with Nova, each of the 5 icons can launch 2 apps. Nova also has swipe gestures allowing you to launch additional apps.
I have 3 rows of dock icons using nova, (I think you can have up to 5 or more rows). Each one can launch 2 apps. It also has a swipe up, down, 2 finger swipe up, down, and rotate right and left.
With my current setup, I can launch 36 apps from my without ever going into the app drawer and without having my screens cluttered with icons.
No line here either, I'm not sure what you're seeing.
I really like Nova Launcher Prime as well. The gestures are awesome and completely customizable. Infinite scrolling on the home screen, dock, and apps if you want it. Lots of options to customize look, feel, and performance. You can change the scroll effect you see when swiping between home screens and the speed of the effects/animations.
I can launch almost anything I need right from my main home screen. I keep a blank spot so I can double-tap to open Voice Search, and I like having a mostly blank desktop to stare at my live wall paper.
A lot of the 3rd party launchers have features like this, I've had good luck with Nova Prime and WidgetLocker.

Ah. Lots of people had a "noob" problem with the battery bar mod on Beans. I thought it was my imagination at first because it would appear then disappear, but then it began to pulsate.
Then I turned off battery mods and that's when I realized what it was.

I have heard that auto updating widgets left running in Touchwiz can have an effect on battery life, but I don't know this for sure. If you are happy with your third party launcher it is probably best to go into Touchwiz and delete any widgets from your home screens.
