The Slide navigation style has gained popularity because many apps are using it, including Gmail, Facebook, and Youtube. Many other apps use this navigation style to provide a better user experience. 

For example, consider the main Menu to be available from any layout, regardless of the invocation depth level you are in. You're always able to slide right to have the main menu appear.

GeneXus integrates this navigation style, enabling users to utilize its intuitive functionalities to their advantage.
