SOLIDWORKS is used by millions of designers and engineers at hundreds of thousands of companies. It’s one of the most popular design and engineering software on the market. Known for its range of features and high functionality, SOLIDWORKS is used across multiple professions and industries around the world. SOLIDWORKS uses parametric design, which is why it’s such an effective tool for designers and engineers. This means that the designer can see how changes will affect its neighboring components, or even the overall solution. For example, if the size of a single component is increased, this would affect the joint or hole it’s attached to. This allows designers to spot and correct issues quickly and easily.

Thoughts :
I don't really dislike or like using the mouse gestures, but I'd much rather not use it. Everything is selected too quickly in such a small space. You can not hover over anything for a split second to see what you're doing. However it would be very useful and efficient if you have already used it. I would however like to add more options so it is more sufficient to the needs of SolidWorks, the positions that were used were useful and I got used to them quickly. Yes I did change some of the options such as extrude because the way it was mapped just made more sense after the change.
