GoG's launcher can launch games from other launchers and it's really not a big deal to have multiple. It's not ideal to need a launcher but it's a snappy launcher and not at all the same terrible experience as Ubi and EA's that have the most obtrusive and sluggish setups.

It's not ideal to need a launcher

So... I guess GoG is ideal then, because you don't need a launcher for GoG games. You download the installers and boot up the game directly. I often get Steam to launch them instead, for the controller support. The GoG launcher is strictly optional.
