I prefer gestures, I completed the game with gestures, and the game originally shipped with only gestures.

I can understand using icons if someone is playing on a marginal system which can interfere with the gesture system due to frame rate, but it's gestures all the way for me.

With the icon system, you can fit only 6 icons (while holding tab - everything falls off the screen)

it looks like the gesture system would fit around 10.

That part of the brain that regulates impulse control, and prevents you from spewing forth every random thought that crosses your mind? Mine's way underdeveloped. :D

(Can't for the life of me remember what it's called, and I'm not cheating and hitting Wikipedia, it'll come to me)

Ack! So much for letting me remember on my own! :D

I use icons. I got so used to testing them (as a tester for the icon patch) that I never switched back to gestures.
