This one is more of a personal opinion and I will cite some of the stuff that I found great about this launcher that made me say it is the best among its peers.

What I like about this launcher is that it offers a kaleidoscope of features and options that will help users improvise not the look of their native UI abut also the other basic and vital launchers actions they do in their daily phone activity. Furthermore, this launcher, as an app from Microsoft, integrates Windows 10's couple of elements such as Hey Cortana and Timeline.

One particular feature of Microsoft Launcher that I love the most is the "Feed". This feature reminds me of the glorious days I had using my previous phone which was LG G2. I have been looking for a launcher on Playstore that has the same feature but to no avail, none of them had it until Microsoft crafted this one. Feed is an area in the home screen that lets you pin your personal widgets. This alone for me, is enough thing to call this launcher "heaven-sent". Aside from Feed, I also love the ease of turning off your screen by just the use of double-tap on the homescreen. Only few of the third-party launchers posses the said feature and Microsoft Launcher is one of them. 

Microsoft Launcher is the Best Android Launcher not jut because it has the features like the ones I cited. It is best for me because aside from offering users those top-notch features, it has also that commendable community support place wherein users can vent out their problems and thoughts that could contribute to the future development of the brilliant app.

I have installed and also uninstalled tons of third party launchers before and I must say this one is more likely not gonna have the same fate like those of Nova, Evie, Go Launcher, and etc. This one is here to stay.
