Aside from that, it usually takes less energy to type, and you can do other things while replying (or in the gaps between). Voice is more of a dedicated channel, and it's not necessarily more productive. With text you're given a chance to think about what you're about to send before hitting the submit button. I think there needs to be a balance here. Voice has its benefits, but it's not always the way to go.
