That's true, I also do doubletap, swipe on android tablets & realize a second later, damn this not N9. I never carried UI interactions of one phone to another phone model, but N9 UI interactions are so natural that I simply can't obstruct myself.

It wasn't perfect, but damn it was fresh.
Yes it's not perfect. But the harmattan is a very well engineered software in early revisions only(PR1.2). Android early revisions are very buggy & even now multi tasking isn't is virtue
