Basically it is not iPadOS-like gesture in regards to feel, or even Windows 8.X which does follow your finger even when opening Charms Bar.Д¬oip, I think that problem, that it felt like it never left beta, was endemic to the whole design philosophy. It simply cleverly feels like it, but when you slowly drag your finger to do the gesture, it will simply trigger the action but animation don't follow your finger at all.

Only complain with the new gesture is it still doesn't follow your finger when you do gesture to minimize apps, restore apps and when going to Task View. Some apps maybe be only available as floating window like Sticky Notes and Snip and Sketch since it doesn't make sense for them to be full-screen.Д«ut I do love the new touch gestures on Windows 11 which feels better than what was from Windows 10, which is repurposed gesture from Windows 8.X, but not as good. It would be nice to have at least have that option on Windows 11 when you device is on tablet state and have apps run maximzed and if you open another one, its either you open them snapped together, replace the foreground app or run as floating window (especially Calculator). Kinda hard to say, but desktop mode kinda clumsy to use. But having to have run all apps (or the one made sense) full-screen/maximized made sense on tablet state/posture since I find opening apps on a float window always seems clumsy on tablet and unpredictability when you rotate the orientation of the device, also tablets generall have smaller screen except for convertibles which I can make sense having desktop mode used on tablet state. It wasn't great, but it didn't have to be that way but Microsoft simply forgotten about it so it remain jank.ДЇor me, not having dedicated 'Tablet Mode' is fine.

True, though the problem as well with Windows 10 Tablet Mode, it never really made any significant improvements since it was introduced.
