I, personally, prefer a minimalist desktop which is both functional and fast. I'm running a stock phone, with nothing special at all.

Home++ is a very nice home replacement, but it had bugs, such as having to reload the apps in my drawer each time I opened it, while it also noticeably slowed the phone down. It had a fair deal more features than Helix, and I loved the ability to select functions from bottom "dock" of the phone, but possessed nothing critical.

Helix provides many of the usable functions I enjoyed with Home++, such as the ability to dock 4 apps, as opposed to pre-determined functions (which is what I had on Home++), along with the ability to run multiple screens. So far as I was concerned, those were the real critical bits. To boot, Helix is also MUCH faster, and I'd say slightly more intuitive with the double-tap to select windowed versions of your home screens.

Though I'm not getting rid of Home++ in the short term, Helix will be my primary home replacement.
