Hello! I primarily only find it useful on the web when I'm doing something else with one hand, only leaving one hand available to navigate. I never use QN for navigating applications, and only use it to navigate HTML content areas.
Qn forces you to interact in tables where you otherwise do not have to, necessarily. Keep in mind this is because it of course tries to use VoiceOVer navigation commands as opposed to simply hitting down arrow. You'll be stuck with this, I'm afraid. I personally find having to interact with each table to navigate with Quick Nav on is inconvenient, but it is designed to make the use of the VoiceOVer keys unnecessary in some instances while only using one hand.
