I'd hate to see icons disappear in favor of textual labels. Then my phone's app drawer would just be a page of words, which would blend themselves into a giant morass of meaningless letters, making it difficult indeed to find the app I'm seeking. Likewise, I'd hate to see labels disappear in favor of icons--I'd never figure out what some of these things are. What's that tri-colored Slow Moving Vehicle sign supposed to mean? Oh! it's Google Drive! Of course! I depend on the labels when I've just installed a new app on my phone. After a while, when I've learned to visually associate the icon with the app, I depend on the icon to locate the app more quickly than scanning the labels. The app's position within the app drawer changes frequently, so eidetic memory doesn't serve me well there. I'd say there should be a setting within every app that allows you to display or hide the label, but even as I consider that, I reject it, because it gives the app drawer an inconsistent look. And if I stop using an app for a while, I might forget what its icon looks like, and have to fall back on the labels again.
