FONTBOT  Having become hooked on mouse gestures in Windows — using the awkwardly-named app "StrokeIt" — xGestures was like a savior when I started using OS X. While xGestures doesn't recognize curved or diagonal gestures like StrokeIt does, as the developer points out this can actually be an advantage, since your gestures are less likely to be misinterpreted. Aside from that, xGestures' practical range of options and extensive list of actions make it very flexible and easy to configure to one's working habits. It's a must-install app on any Mac I use.

DOUG ENGELBART  xGestures is the one and only mouse gesture driver, indeed. The mouse key combination for starting a gesture can be chosen from a greater variety than I could dream of (so far). Just one thing: The colors of the painted gesture paths should be selectable, too, because many people don't like the blue or red pill. ;)

COWICIDE  If this dev stopped making xGestures I would stay at the last OS it supported until someone else came along. I refuse to use a computer without it.

EASER  This is one of absolute "must have" programs, so it's sweet to see that they're keeping on top of this. Honestly, if you've never tried using gestures, try this program. It's straightforward and has never given me a problem. And at this price, it's a steal.

TEKL  Great application and a great price. Less expensive than simple Mail Stationaries and much more useful.

Very stable and I haven't seen any bugs.

The only annoying thing is, that I can't use xGestures to draw complex graphics onto the screen. After some time it stops drawing with the message "This isn't MacPaint!!!" ;-)
