> Some say that because we write slower than we type, it allows for deeper thinking as opposed to faster thinking, which could be beneficial.

My understanding is that studies showing this apply primarily to note taking, like in a class. When people take notes by typing they tend to copy what is said verbatim, whereas writing notes forces people to summarize and therefore internalize more of the information.

As for me, my handwriting is atrocious, I use it so rarely, and it's so much slower than typing for me that I get frustrated whenever I write things.

> because it's harder to edit one is more careful while writing...

Typing allows for easier editing and refinement, so I think it wins out overall :)
