I also really like the 'options' menu on Symbian which avoids a lot of back and forth between screens. On other operating systems touching a list item once is selecting it and your off to another screen, that happens to me a lot unintentionally when I'm actually trying to navigate the list not select the item. Not only do I dislike many of the gestures I don't think they work well, I find them an irritant not an enhancement.
Unfortunately Apple, Google and M$ have all decreed this is the way it's going to be. With Firefox OS, even if Mozilla follow the same paradigm, I should be able to replace their UI with my own right from top to bottom.
I think creating alternative UIs for Firefox OS will become an interesting new opportunity for web developers and designers (as well as carriers of course).
On the upside there's a really good JavaScript framework from 1 & 1 called QooxDoo which enables you to make really nice UIs directly in JavaScript without needing to code HTML or CSS.
With Firefox OS it should also be possible to create apps just using QooxDoo which really works for me.
I've even started using QooxDoo in combination with node.js to make programs for my desktop, that combination works even better when you have a browser that lets extensions access the raw TCP socket (like the developer edition of Chromium).
