  • No.
  • It is not correct, so of course it is not widely used as it is not used at all.
  • The reason is that "gentle" is not an appropriate word in that situation.

No. It is not correct, so of course it is not widely used as it is not used at all. The reason is that "gentle" is not an appropriate word in that situation.

It was [generous / kind / nice] of you to ... are the usual formulas.

As the sentence is not natural English, that question is not relevant.
