Neo launcher looks pretty cool, I just wish they had more options for customization. Someone opened a feature request for custom fonts and the devs seemed pretty disinterested and said folks should look for font options through their ROM instead of wanting it in their launcher, so I'm expecting customization isn't really a priority for them unfortunately :(
While that's understandable, I just checked and on a stock Samsung flip 4 I can change my font in the system settings - though admittedly it looks like it requires an APK from the Galaxy app store, which I have disabled, but still, it is an option for changing fonts.
Though I am not really one to worry about fonts, so I could be wrong about how important they are.
Other than that, I can customize pretty much anything I have wanted to a similar degree to Nova launcher, though there are a few bugs related to saving widget layouts.
Samsung in particular I think does have font settings but many others don't. I'm on a pixel 3, and will probably get a zenphone 10 or fariphone next, and I don't believe any of them have a ROM that supports custom fonts. But certain launchers support them, like lawnchair. I mostly just meant that in regard to their likeliness to add the other niche customization features I need. It seems like a genuinely fantastic launcher, I just really like making stuff and wouldn't be able to recreate my current setup, which would such given how much time and energy I've put into it
