It's not just me and bluegaspode.

It's actually a more general thing: Gestures generally test very bad in
user acceptance tests.
It's one of these things: Everybody is making a big fuss about all the
cool gesture-enabled features of iThingies and Multitouch and
everything and if you then go out and test this stuff in market
research you find that what people want (or, to be precise: what they
tell you that they want) is deep menu structures and textual menus.

Why is that? Because all this testing is with users who are new to an
application and hence had no time to learn a usage scheme or get used
to it. So they prefer what they immediately understand.
It's the same if you look at what people who decide after trying Apps
base their decision on.

Now, long term satisfaction is an entirely different story.
