A "Favorites" scope, just like the "Apps" scope, but where the user
selects which apps go in there could go some way towards a
customisable home page. This could easily be done without any major
changes.
If you could add your own background, and also add your favorite bits
from the "Today" scope as well, then it would be a true home screen.
Best of all - anyone who doesn't want to use it wouldn't have to.

It does seem like an awfully big hole in the Ubuntu Touch feature
set. On Android I can fit virtually everything I use onto one
screen, styled how I like, including app launchers, specific
documents or shortcuts, interactive widgets, auto-updating data
widgets, phone status indicators/controls, etc. I can group and
arrange these according to whatever criteria I think is relevant,
so the things I use together are organized together. To access
similar functions in Ubuntu Touch I have to use a dozen different
scopes and apps, and some functions aren't available at all.
It would be nice if the user could easily create their own "home"
screen (or screens) containing the things they use, organized
however they like.
The other inconvenience I run into a lot is the need to use both
hands (or risk dropping the phone) to reach the back button.
Anything we touch that often should probably be on the bottom
edge somewhere.
