I took what Sam said and just tried everything I thought I'd need to
(that I can so far) and yeah, "back" wasn't as important as it is in
Android - to my mind. I think expansion, those carousel devices on the
people page remove the need more that I thought. I still like my
gesture "swipe from the bottom edge to the left edge" but there's
contention around this, I understand.
The web browser has gesture problems - not because of "back" though -
getting the launcher up and dragging the page around functions too close
together - hard to describe but easy to see. This gives me some concerns
for larger than screen apps like the map type (which I'm interested in,
and why I mention them a bit).
I can still see myself adding a "back" button to certain apps I might
write, and hope that the design guys demonstrate an acceptable way that
we may all copy.
Till later,
Scott.

Just curious, but what part of the update made your opinion change? I
think this issue is resolved for now though.

To be honest I've not updated my Nexus to a recent image (until
just now!) since we're approaching the "dog fooding" stage.
Anyway I did and my opinion may have changed.
I think "Expansion" is probably something we're not so familiar
with as programmers and user interface designers, but will be very
useful and eliminate the need for "back" in certain circumstances.

Also, the example shown in
http://design.ubuntu.com/apps/building-blocks/page-stack - stage 2
- the app could easily have a "back" symbol to the left of Julia's
head, no problem - ie the app could supply an obvious "back" when
appropriate.
Also, glad I updated, it's come a long way recently!
Now I can't sleep at all, I think I'll watch some Justified :)
Till later,
Scott.

See the following link for examples of the back button in the core OS.

I've been running the system on my phone for nearly 4 months, I know
where the back button is. I also know how often I use the back button,
and I don't think it's as often as everybody else thinks it is.
The visible by default thing might be good in something like system
settings, assuming it uses a design where it enters deeper pages like on
other OSs. But, it shouldn't a system-wide thing, just for particular
apps where you can expect to use the back button frequently. And, I'm
pretty sure this can already be implemented by the apps.
