Re: Why do people like using Swype? It seems more complicated than useful.

It takes an extra second or so, but if you hold down the space bar, it cycles to two other options. The first is tab, but the second is "NO Auto-space" and this will turn off the auto-space before the next word you type.

I got around this issue by changing the settings to allow for sloppier input. Then you just have to gesture "towards" the letters you want...it doesn't even matter if you don't actually hit them. So as long as you're vaguely close, it'll figure out what you're trying to write.

Unsurprisingly, there's more delay when you change the setting for sloppier input, but you can actually keep typing even while it's figuring a word out and it will keep up. And worst case, it'll get something wrong, and all you have to do is double-click on it to get a list of potential corrections.
