A clarification: actually, you can double tap and hold anywhere on the screen to get the "edit app switcher" mode. Then I hold one finger down anywhere on the screen and tap each icon as it appears. This is the two finger double tap that I find easier to use.
The initial one finger double tap and hold is the gesture I find most difficult. It takes practice and patience.
