as the old launcher is still available, I have started using that. It suits my needs much better.
if there are any actual bugs related to the Qt5 launcher, please report them - otherwise, Zakalawe keeps encouraging feature requests for the Qt5 launcher - so if you think anything is missing/broken etc, please also get in touch via the devel list, and/or, the issue tracker - some recently posted feedback was very much appreciated IIRC, and got implemented within a few days.
It seems increasingly likely that the Qt5 launcher will continue to developed, and it may even make built-in features obsolete, so it is a good idea to be proactive whenever you notice anything missing/broken or incomplete, because all the ongoing Qt5 work is likely to be the foundation for what FG is going to look like a few years from now - to see that that's the case, you only need to look at new developments that are solely integrated with the Qt5 front-end - thus, sooner or later, certain desirable functionality will be tied to Qt5, and you should not expect fgrun to support all features that the Qt5 launcher does/will support.
