> Keep it Simple and Stupid
I’ve never seen the KISS principle stated like this. I’ve see “Keep it simple stupid”, and people who try to make it less insulting with, “keep it stupid simple”.
However that “and” changes things a lot. “Keep it simple” and “keep it stupid”. Do we want to “keep it stupid”?
Semantics aside, I do like seeing minimal launchers. I’m not an Android user, but an happy to know projects like this exist.

"is the tendency of small, elegant, and successful systems to be succeeded by over-engineered, bloated systems, due to inflated expectations and overconfidence."
