It's probably as good as can be expected, given that you're not
actually writing on the screen in screen coordinates. Had they done
that it might have been more useful. As it stands, any mistake causes
much more trouble in correction as the useful utilities are absent
(double-tap, write-over character, join and break, etc.) because they
don't have a location to apply to. Is the tablet PC as lame? I imagine
so, or worse.
Nevertheless nice to see that something lives on. Rosetta! Rosetta!
