I tried the pill, couldn't manage to get used to it. I just hope they don't go "we know what's best for you" on this one.

This is orders of magnitude better than the pill one, which not only felt unfinished, it didn't even actually get rid of the bottom bar, which seems like the whole point of gesture navigation...

I tried the pill and eventually turned it off. Android 10's navigation seems a lot more fluid, though maybe a little less discoverable.

edit: to be clear, I now have the option for traditional 3 buttons, 2 buttons (pill), and no buttons (all gestures).

I use that today, yes; however, that only eliminates one of the three buttons. On Android 9, you still have a back button and a home button.
