Arstechnia hasn't done enough research.

You can (and I have) fetch the new Launcher from AOSP, compile it and run it very easily as a separate application. The Google Experience Launcher is a closed source Google app based on this which integrates Google Now.

Fair enough.

I'm a huge fan of Google Now so hopefully I can continue to use it if I decide to switch to a custom launcher.
