A lot of development time has gone into the gesture recognizers in iOS. My understanding is that they we're not easy to get right, having a lot of subtlety and edge cases, especially when a given view employs several if them and they need to disambiguate between multiple possible gestures. Win8 will get there in time, and already has at least one that I would like to see iOS shamelessly copy: the ability, when drag-moving an icon, to employ a finger from another hand to swipe from page to page. Awesome!

> the ability, when drag-moving an icon, to employ a finger from another hand to swipe from page to page. Awesome! OS X does this on laptops and magic trackpad, you can drag and drop icons that way. iOS supports the drag with one finger/nav with another as well--try it with a text selection handle with your left index and scrolling the page with your right. But to your point, home screen icon moving doesn't use that gesture.
