Gesture control actually drives me nuts.
+1 on all points, but to add a little more perspective from me:

1. I can't stand driving a car without a HUD anymore, I have no idea where my Nav and Speedo is otherwise, and don't feel great hunting around for it when needed. $1900 is a little much to spend for just this purpose... but I still would... heck, if it was $5k+ more for that option alone, I would likely still be ticking the box.
2. Even when I'm alone in the car on the highway, I find myself using the electric rear shades, basically in conjunction with the panoramic roof shade. I find it adds a little more sound isolation along with blocking the light. Similarly, sometimes I want a more open/airy feeling at night while cruising around the city.
3. Utilizing the soft close doors takes a lot of effort as you basically have to slow the big heavy door down for it not to slam. Like Phasers says, it's only when you want to close the door quietly, or on the off chance a child's elbow slowed it down while moving in the car while closing, making it nice to not have to hop out and run over to that door while tryin to pull away.
4. I have gesture control disabled in both cars. I cannot stand it.
