I concur that it's faster and easier to use the vkb for writing some quick texts. ossipena said it best. it's so easy to swipe away, so you want your hands close to the screen. I use hwkb for longer stuff and terminal.

There are some things I don't like but they all have to do with on device programming. The biggest one being that you can only open one terminal, and it could use some options anyway. It's not a real problem since the app is open source and I heard it's already fixed. Just haven't had time to get into that.

Also, that turd called aegis should be killed with fire.
