It's not just the gestures in Nova ... at least not for me. Nova lets you do SOOOO many other things that I really love. It allows you to have a scrollable dock ... It allows greater subdivision of the home screen grid ... it allows you to change icons for any and all apps on your home screens ... it gives you lots of folder options if you're into that ... it also allows you to get more notification badges than you can with stock TW ... It also allows you to have your "app drawer" icon placed where you want it as opposed to being shoved to the far right of the dock.
None of those things are something that you just "must have" so to speak, but all of those things are such simple little tweaks that can make a huge world of difference in how you use the phone and how it looks. I've been using Nova for almost a few years now, and whenever I try to give TW a try again (which I have a few times since I got my S6), I keep finding that I just much prefer Nova for the extra customization it gives me.
And, the truth of the matter is, Nova is every bit as smooth and snappy as the stock TW launcher, so it's not like you sacrifice anything by changing to Nova.
