I doubt any standard launchers are as resource light as the applauncher.py tool. However, I personally am much more interested in using tools that are broadly available (across platforms/ distros). I’m not so tight for resources that 20 or 50 or even several 100 MB make much difference. I’m one of those rich guys who spends a $25 to buy 8GB of RAM. ;^) The software I, personally, like to use employs standard off the shelf building blocks.
I am happy to allow that others have priorities that differ from mine. I do have to note, however, that home grown software is not free… even if it does not use much RAM. There’s a lot of work that goes into making these things work (as you well know). Those this type of effort is laudable and almost certainly well synchronized with the overall direction of antiX, I thought it worth noting that there are standard tools out there, by the pound. FWIW Uauncher consumes just more than 50MB on antiX19b for me.
