No frills Launcher

In a word, customizations. These are my reasons for switching to Nova:
1. I wanted more icons on the home screen. The stock launcher only allowed four rows by four columns. I felt the screen was large enough to accommodate more than that.
2. I wanted to be able to to move the Apps icon out of the dock.
3. I wanted the dock icons to be slightly larger than the others.
4. I wanted to be able to edit the icons' captions, and even to use no captions at all for some of them.

Other features that weren't part of the reason for switching to Nova, but which I came to really love now, include:

1. The ability to customize the unread badges - font, size, background color, outline color...
2. The ability to set a custom action for the Home button. I've set it so that the first press takes me to the Home screen, then the second press (or the first, assuming I was already on the Home screen to begin with) turns off and locks the screen.

How much are these customizations worth to you? How much would you have to get paid to use another launcher?

Which launcher are you using?

Most likely, you can just do a Long Press and it will change appearance, and then you just drag and drop it somewhere else. that 'else' might be to the edge of the screen which will move it to another homescreen.

Once you long press the icon, a Trash Can appears on Samsung devices...

in Nova Launcher, a Long Press will bring up a menu asking what you want to do.... 'remove from screen' or 'uninstall'
