I pine for those buttons.

I'm seeing the behavior consistently, regardless of app. It's just wrong.
Like when I swipe from right to left. An app can have it's own meaning for this gesture. The phone itself, two more, one to switch home screens, one to pull up the camera. I'll be trying to use the app's meaning and get the camera. This is not improving my efficiency.
If Elon Musk was worried that rail service between San Francisco and Los Angeles might diminish the demand for Teslas, then I think we have a more serious problem with delusion than I thought.
It is weird that Elon Musk was so worried about California's high-speed rail project because it had the look of a boondoggle from the beginning. It's horrendously expensive and the promise of an alternative to air travel has been diminished as they've decided to use more existing rail (you can't run high speed on it) to save money.
The pinch to zoom and scrolling features generally work fine. I did explore the accessibility features and found nothing that addresses my need for easy predictability.
The reason I like the buttons is because I know what they do. And they do it every time.
The reason I hate the gestures is that I'll think I'm doing one thing and get something completely different, often when I needed it to do the right thing five seconds ago.
