Good catch. I guess we will have to wait until the Android N previews hit the servers.

I have 3 screens for my more used apps and utilize a few folders to group similar apps.

But I definitely have a use for the app drawer, there are a bunch of apps I don't use often. They are there when I need them.

Don't get rid of the app drawer!!!

Absolutely. I can do things in the app drawer that the native system cannot.
To wit:

I'm still using Apex, which has the exact same features as Nova. If I didn't know any better I'd think they came from the same developer. Regardless, I re-downloaded Nova over the Christmas holiday and just haven't had the time to set it up. Nova has been at the top of the list for what 3+ years now? It's definitely a top notch launcher.

As someone who had used Apex for a long while (thanks to you actually )I made the switch to Nova and never looked back. I found it easier to do some of the things I wanted. I also liked the feature of changing font color for app names which I don't recall ever seeing in Apex.

The.more I think about it, the more I think if I owned Google semicolon and someone came to me with this idea to remove the app drawer.... I would fire him edit or her. Can you tell I use voice to text?

I read that (here), as well. I will check my friends S7 unless someone here with one comments before then.
Here's the thing though. The G5 will have M....not N. So maybe Google ISN'T getting rid of it...these companies just trying something new?

I'm wondering if it's a ploy to try & capture some iPhone users? Make it more like they're used to & you might convert some that would otherwise be overwhelmed by the differences...?
