I still use nav buttons. I really liked apps that had that left slide out drawer (something Google pushed for a while and then quietly abandoned) and I kept navigating elsewhere while trying to pull out the menu drawers, so I went to buttons.
My final cool app with a drawer, rif is fun, is no longer on my phone, so I guess I can switch to navigation gestures... But it would take a lot of getting used to and "what gesture goes where?" (Note that I am particularly bad at remembering this sort of stuff - I'm the type of person who keeps a screenshot of a keybinding map on my second monitor while playing games.)
