It's great if you learn how to use it /if/ you are a relatively light to moderate texter. Heavy users who want the absolute maximum speed, however, seem to favour non-predictive entry, as it is deterministic, so you don't need to wait and see what emerges. Predictive text is interactive: you press the keys, just once each, for each letter, then you step through the offered words, pick the one you want and move on - or teach the phone the new word. This means that the list of offerings changes over time, and that means it's non-deterministic. Some phones put the new words on the end of the list, some on the beginning, but either way, it will be a different number of choices to loop through the list. I don't really understand why any techie dislikes it, TBH. It is /vastly/ easier than, say, learning to understand how Unix wildcards work, let alone regular expressions or something - both things which I've not yet mastered after more than 20y of effort. -- Liam Proven ?
