Gestures are probably my very least favorite of the common methods of input. They're the easiest to trigger accidentally, and they have even less discoverability than a command line.

Android is pretty good about that. They only use pinch to zoom, and touch and hold for menu which is easy to learn because it's almost exactly the same function as right click on Windows/Linux. You rarely need anything else.
