Really? I actually love the UI on it.

I haven't got the update yet. I doubt my phone even has the space for one, and every time I update it, the data and album art for my music gets fucked

Everything felt too rounded compared to my current setup, but when I switched back from my 3rd party launcher (Nova) to the Pixel Launcher I realized they implemented a ton of features that Android 9 needs to function "normally". I still think everything is still a bit too round, but I found it meshed well w/ the rest of the elements, compared to using Nova Launcher. The whole experience still feels very iPhone-ish which I still have to get used to. 

I have some trivial gripes, like how when you pull the notification bar, another clock and different battery indicator pull down over it (It looks better w/ the dark theme (dark -> light elements from status bar -> setting bubbles), but I have light turned on.) The gesture ver. of the navigation bar is asymmetrical with a really small back button to the left but nothing on the right... etc. 

I do like how they moved the volume popup and the swipe gestures. I've been using swipe gestures for years via different launchers, so implementing it to all of the Android experience is convenient.  

TL;DR

1. Still getting used to the bubble design, since I never really liked it.
2. At the moment you really have to stick with the stock launcher for everything to "work". Everything is very ergonomic, but I feel like I'm using a knockoff iPhone. I prefer having control over how my phone feels, hence why I used custom launchers.
3. I'll have to design another KLWP theme to match the experience.
4. There's def. some buuugs but they'll be fixed in time (og Pixel XL has lost the ability to fast charge.)
