Im running it and loving it... at times I do get a lot of FC, but it runs great (Especially since OC).
This is a discussion on Home++, How do you feel? within the Motorola Droid forums, part of the Droid 1 Forum category; Im running it and loving it... at times I do get a lot of FC, but it runs great (Especially since OC)....

I installed Home++ and loved it but after my Droid started running as slow as the Storm 1 I had gotten rid of, I removed it. If they come out with a fix, I will go back to it but I am just using the stock home screen for now. Home++ lagged and caused forced close too many times and, like I said, I spent a year of that with the Storm so didn't want to go through that when the Droid is such a great phone.
I really like the power strip on the bottom and the extra screens, as well as its integrated task killer. However, like many people here, it gave me a lot of problems with lag, force closing, and freezing. I got rid of it.
I really like the layout and options on Home++ as well. I went from 7 screens and trimmed it down to 5. Definitely cuts down on the lag. Still a bit laggy, but nowhere near as bad as it was with 7 screens. I still get a few FC's as well, but seems those are also minimized with using less screens.
Today I killed it!
I've been running it for quite a while but I just can't deal with the force closes anymore! Plus it's quite laggy.
I will miss the hidden notification bar and the shortcuts @ the bottom. I am heading back to GDE.
Home ++ is THE best hom replacement there is....I've tried them all, and none can compare. To anyone that is saying it's slow or unstable, try not task killing for a day (this really causes all around instability...let it do what it does!) I went from 2 or 3 FC warnings (ooo big deal it takes 3 seconds to recover) to maybe one a week if that. I thought task killers would make my phone faster....it actually makes it run like crap!
It is the fastest smoothest home replacement out there, and the powerbar is irreplaceable! Just wish I could disable the useless screen switcher.
I uninstalled it a couple of weeks ago. I couldnt take the lag and FC's. I will wait for 2.1 and the 5 home screens, it's all i really need, 3 isnt cutting it!
