Apple - Is there a gesture to dismiss a notification

in el Capitan, the swipe away feature was disabled for Reminder alerts. Now you have to click Later.. then click 1 hour, 1 day, etc.. So they changed a simple swipe away gesture with 2 clicks.. per notification. It makes it way more complicated, I don't know what Apple was thinking when they changed this, at least they should give the option of making it simpler.

With a trackpad or mouse, you can click the notification and drag it right towards the edge of the screen. If you do it fast enough it's almost like a swipe.

On a trackpad you can also just swipe right with two fingers.
