I wouldn't call Google totally breaking the recent apps button in third party launchers okay, but I must say that being exposed to gesture navigation against my will changed my opinion on it vastly. Sliding on the bottom of the screen to switch between open apps is incredible, it's the perfect equivalent for the desktop alt+tab

    They stole it from Apple and that’s a good thing! 🙂

    Meh, three button navigation is still king. Nice to have the option, though. Maybe a combination of both would be the best, why not?

    @electrineer If I can criticize anything, it's that the boundary between gestures is too fuzzy. In my ideal world sliding up would snap to the vertical and switching apps or scrolling the app list would snap to the horizontal so that they're always separate actions. This 2D navigation system feels unstable.

    Also the transition to the app list should stop if I keep dragging up instead of moving past the end and then bouncing back. It looks like a canceled action.

    And just like that the issue is fixed. No idea who did it though, can't find the issue either.
