I just went in the other direction and am now using Zeam. I really like it. I didn't care as much for the LP swipe on the dock icons (it was hard for me to get them to work the first time most of the time, and I would just get the "main" app from the icon. So I would swipe, get the wrong app, have to close it out, swipe again, etc). I'm sure others have mastered that better than my fat fingers will allow.
I also like the 6-app/icon, scrolling dock on Zeam. I just realized that I can put more than 6 icons on the doc and scroll it (though I don't know what the limit is yet). I know that LP has a scrollable dock as well, but I just like the smaller 6-icon Zeam doc (even though that's less than 10 apps if you include swiping the icons). I even like Zeam's simple "faded" dock appearance better than the list of docks you can download for LP. (Again, not that LP doesn't have some very nice docks -- it does. But the faded one goes well with my clock widget perfectly, so I'm settled on it).
I also like swiping my notification bar down, and swiping up for the app center, and double-tapping for the screen previews. And it is just *quick*. I had quite a bit of lag with LP, and really none that's noticeable on Zeam. The footprint is much smaller and it seems to use less battery. And I don't get stuck icons when I hold them down indicating that I need to get the paid version to resize the icons. (I know it's good to pay for the full version, but I just don't need it, which is probably why I like Zeam to begin with).
I suppose the bottom line is that LP has more features/functionality and Zeam is simpler without being ugly (at least to me) like Blur. It does just what I need and nothing more -- and too much stuff just confuses me. Ha ha. Like some have stated that they like uncluttered screens, I prefer a simplistic launcher with just the functionality I like. I also tend to put my apps in FolderOrganizer (coming from the BB Storm, I'm just used to that kind of organization), and I don't use a large number of widgets nor require too many screens. So it works out well.
Plus, the Zeam dock is accessible from the app center page as well, not just a home button on the bottom. So you have slightly quicker task switching there.
Zeam would definitely not win out in a launcher competition by any means, but for a few like myself, it's just right.
