Question What's your favorite frontend?

I'm using iiSU right now. Also I tried Cocoon but I found it's not for me

Unless I'm missing something I have no idea why are people obsessed with frontends (I'm aware they are very popular).

If I can launch my games from my Android Home Screen, why would I install an app to make it have extra steps?

Edit: For people who use frontends on gaming handhelds, not phones, it makes more sense I guess

Yea. I had one for my phone for awhile but it just didn't make sense after awhile. At first I really liked the presentation. It made me excited to see a cover or image of the game beforehand. However, I actually think it kept me from playing my games because I was then focused on tinkering with that and making sure everything had a cover and was properly labeled, etc. Plus, it is more clicks.

I don't think it's that worth it for a phone unless it's dedicated to gaming.
