Do you use Multi-Tasking Gestures on your iPad?

The only gesture I don't use, is the four-finger horizontalswipe to switch between apps. I find it's easier to use those four fingers to swipe up for the multitasking switcher.

I love the four-finger pinch to return Home.
 
I love it, and of course would like some more gestures.

i would like a 4 or 5 fingered 'unpinch' to quit an app, and I would like some gesture that is capable of launching an app (said app could be a tray of running/backgrounded apps for instance).

I use the gestures the whole time that I am on my iPad. Once I started using them it just became habit. I never hit the home button anymore and the app switching via swipe is way faster and simpler to me.
 
I for one love it. I hope they plan to implement it into ios 6 for the iPhone and specifically for safari. I still can't believe it takes at least three steps to switch between tabs in safari on the iPhone. Look to chrome to see how to handle faster and more intuitive tab switching.
 
The multifinger gestures interfere with the wrist protection systems of some of the notepad-like apps I use, so I've turned off the gestures.
