That experience completely differs from mine. Maybe I just prefer email to text or Facebook messages, but the same principle applies to wherever you are writing something to friend or family. Wouldn't you get the same problem, just elsewhere?

Responding to my mother's birthday wishes does seem like it's a different kind of activity than autocompleting C# code, even though both can be executed with autocomplete to get a good valid output.

I would gladly use it for most communication. Probably not for my spouse but for everyone else.

I am not a good representative for how the average person feels about using it for personal messaging, though. I can see why many people would be against it for that.
