That talk about substitutes happened when it was initially handed over to said data miner, and anybody concerned should have switched back then. I did, moving to Lawnchair, and never looked back. Oodles of other options are doubtlessly available.

    Lawnchair was too bare bones for me. However, I was able to recreate 90%+ of my Nova setup with Neo.

    Their other projects are in active development, so I wouldn't consider it to be abandoned.

    I haven't had any issues besides the desktop being occasionally unresponsive. Same thing used to happen to me in Nova.

    It's FOSS and suits my needs. But I can see why others may want to stay away from it.
