New Launcher is coming preinstalled with Android M.

Google has announced the next Android version, "The Android M"
on Google I/O last week and also released a developer preview image of Android M.
The Android M is going to be a polishing version of Android Lollipop. But wait! Upon installing the developer preview of the Android M, you will see a difference in the app drawer. Google has gone with a vertical app drawer instead of it's regular horizontal app drawer. Now you have to scroll vertically to browse your apps.
Unlike the "Google Now" launcher, the "Google Now" feature have to be activated through settings on Android M. You will no longer find the Google Now at the left of your home screen.
The app drawer now arranges the apps in alphabetic order. However you can't jump according to the alphabets. You have to scroll downward to find your desired app. Google has also add a search bar and a recent app bar at the top of the launcher. On Android M latest alpps will show up according to your use which is quite handy.

So lets wait for the full version of Android M and see if Google change the  current launcher or not....
If you want to have a taste of Android M then you can have it by flashing your Nexus 5, Nexus 6 and Nexus 8.
