I moved from iPhone 6s to my current phone, a Poco F2 Pro, so it was a no brainer to go with Full Screen Gestures for me since iOS always has been gesture based (regardless of my device having a physical home button).
I think I made the jump when A10 was a thing, so I briefly tried the Android buttons and I wasn’t a fan, sadly IT IS YET the only way to have a third party launcher working with nice animations, because Android broke the animations since A11 if I remember correctly.
Every time when I am in a mood to try another Launcher that ain’t a stock launcher or Pixel Launcher I go back to the Android buttons, but never to the two buttons.
