Navigation bar or gesture controls?

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.

I started using gestures, and haven't been able to transition away since.

Both have their pros and cons.

It's especially hilarious when, as a Pixel owner, I try to help my spouse with their iPhone, and I immediately get confused/frustrated when swiping on her phone does nothing.

Same here! My wife gets annoyed, scrolling on my phone and accidentally hitting the "back" gesture. So I guess it goes both ways
