Wanted to see how everyone in the community felt about the using the android navigation bar buttons vs using gesture control.

I've used the navigation buttons since they released on android and just recently started trying to use the gesture based navigation. It's been a little difficult for me to adapt to it so far, but curious what others experience has been.

3-button nav bar all the way. gesture navigation just feels so ambiguous and inexact compared to discrete buttons. I never understood why google decided to copy that stupid anti-feature from ios when they already had a superior system that worked (and still works) perfectly well.

I started using gesture controls back on my One Plus 6t and just haven't looked back since. I do wish gesture controls had some more uniformity between manufacturers. Like when I got my Pixel 6a there were minor differences in how you use multitasking. My SO gets tripped up when using my Pixel cause the gestures are different from her iPhone.
