Luckily I always go back to swype 2.0 and everything is almost perfect in that the predictive text entry is completely awesome
I have to agree with Noir on this one.

As much as they seem to have improved the look and the overall usability and speed, I feel that prediction has taken a major beating. The older Swype was, like Noir said, scary accurate! I find myself always retracing and having to redo my input a lot. The word menu comes up way to often now compared to before.

I'm really fast with Swype; so fast that if they had a contest, I could put 90% of the contestants away with ease, but with this new one I find the constant editing and rechecking to be a huge pain and it takes away all the fun out of using Swype.

For those of you that don't do light speeds with Swype, I would still recommend using the latest version of Swpe.

EDIT: BTW, Any skins for Swype v3.x
