Funny, even though I use SwiftKey, which was an early-ish swype option, I never got used to typing that way. Also bad at gestures on any platform. For me I think it is more just consistency in layout, possibly even more important for hunt/peck. Also knowing where special characters are at. I don't even use auto-complete a lot, so could do without that. Will be fun to see some FOSS options, but not above paying for the solution if it really fits my needs well.
