SUMMARY
Touchpad gestures are in my opinion the one thing that GNOME still does better than Plasma.  I'd really like to see better gesture support, including a configuration interface for these gestures somewhere in System Settings.

In particular, the gesture for switching workspaces does exactly the opposite of what I'd intuitively expect (swipe right and it switches left, and vice versa) and doesn't follow where my fingers are.  GNOME and macOS both do this - try it and you'll see what I mean.
