Totally agree about cursor scrolling. Half the time, it has no idea where my finger is.
Since I discovered Apple’s slide-to-type[0], I rarely have to key the letters, since the algo guesses more accurately than when I actually use individual keystrokes.
Also, with stt, the delete erases the whole word, so corrections are faster, too.
