Preferred navigation style

I thought gesture navigation would not be for me, but I know prefer it over the buttons. For me it just feels more natural and fluid.

I'm still using it with Action Launcher though sometimes it reverts back to Pixel Launcher from time to time. Google still have some things to iron out and the third party exclusion is only temporary.
See, for me, I always figured that gestures would be for more people than not .. the biggest thing with gestures is that you have to get used to them.
 
Due to compatibility issues with third-party launchers, full gesture navigation will only work with the stock launcher for now. They expect to have this fixed in an update by the end of the year.

I am using Nova on my Pixel 3 running Android Q beta. I've had no problems but I did use Nova to access my app drawer with a double tap on the home screen.

The other gestures seem to work fine for me. I've always accessed the slide out menus on the left with the hamburger above it and I still do.

I tried another launcher, Lawnchair, just for fun and it wasn't compatible for me.
