Gestures are only part of the feature set. Of more importance IMHO are the big hitters such as Versions, Mission Control (wonderful once you get used to it), Autosave, Launchpad (which initially I could not see a use for on a non-iOS device) and lots and lots of small yet important improvements (folder merge, for just one example). Gestures can easily be emulated by judicial use of function keys and/or screen corners if you don't go go out and get a Magic Trackpad. They are by no means the only benefit of Lion.
