Why people disable NavBar?

[Fullmetal Jun]

Any reasons why people use mods/hacks to disable the navbar permanently? Samsung offers the option to do so, but why u have to disable it permanently?
Gestures navigation is not that smooth & u have to use an app.
Is there any benefits or something I'm missing?

You have this big beautiful touch screen, why do I want to take up space on the screen (or have it appear/disappear) every time I want to navigate or go to the home screen? I use Gesture Control so that I just have to swipe left/right/up at the bottom and never have to see it...

Looks better and is really cool to have the whole screen.... navigation gestures works pretty well.

It's quite simple really, you get more screen real estate and you don't need to look at the ugly navbar.

I tried the xda navigation gestures & the fullscreen view is pretty awesome tbh.
How did u hide the navigation bar & what gesture app/mod do u use please? I want something a little smoother than the xda gesture app.
I'm on Alexis 5.3 rom.

I used to use plasmalite and it was awesome, unfortunately stopped working well under Oreo and it never got updated. Now I use XDA gestures, which is pretty OK, in some aspects better than plasmalite.

Xda gestures works great especially the split pill giving additional swipes. I have some very minor delays with it though, but I can live with it. OnePlus gestures is the best so far, but it's paid.

I tried out XDA's Navigation Gestures (paid version) but find Samsung's One Hand Operation+ more enjoyable.
From the edge screen I simply swipe left to go back, to open recents I swipe up diagonally from the same place and to go home I just press the home button.

Many thanks! I find it smoother than xda gestures, but it doesn't work in landscape mode & immersive games
