Big fan of hobomaster22's Doom Launcher. 

I stick with v3.6.5.0, although the newer versions are neat too.

ZDL

 

[SilentD00mer]

ZDL because it's multiplatform and it runs many source ports

I'm a very simple guy

I use prboom plus launcher because it makes separated save folders for every wad i play

Doom launcher is nice, too. It feels like steam but for doom wads

[fai1025]

This bloke's Doom Launcher, extreme simple and without all the complex stuff other Launcher have.

[Remilia Scarlet]

Just the command line

The one I made: https://github.com/MTrop/Doomy

ZDL as a GZDoom scrub. Works for Eternity just as well for when I'm feeling "vanilla"

[bjh13]

I've been using batch files for so long, at this point in life it would actually be more work and more confusing to switch to a launcher than just doing what I have been doing.

[Eric Claus]

I use Doom Explorer

[TheHambourgeois]

Another tally for "A Batch File"

[RHhe82]

Hobomaster's Doom Launcher. Love it.

[Arsinikk]

Hobomaster's Doom Launcher is amazing for me, since I have a large database of Doom WADs.

It really helps to put them in categories such as megawads, miniwads, etc.

 

Years ago I used to use ZDL, which is also a great simple launcher... but not so great when having a huge library of WADs.

I just type everything into the BASH terminal..

Doom Explorer does it all, and does so easily. Been using it for many years now 

[Chookum]

ZDL and DSDA Launcher for modern and classic Dooming.

[Edward850]

Windows PowerShell.

[Mr795]

Doom Explorer, i like playing multiplayer. You'll see me as "DoomedQuaker" in ZDaemon, Zandronum, and Odamex (if anyone even plays on Odamex Nowadays.)

[Enzo Carozza]

PowerShell.
