Swype so hard it's not even funny.
Let me explain something that Swype does that other keyboards suck at: making it easy as pie to decide whether or not I add words to the dictionary. See, I like intentionally misspelling things or stretching words out for emphasis ("it's a looooooong drive, duder"), and Swype makes it so when I want to do that I can tap the words out and it won't autocorrect them nor add them to the dictionary unless I specifically tell it to.
What this means is when I want to spell things in a consistent and normal way, I can trace along and have a great time. Then, when I want to use some kinda slang or garbled mess, I can tap that in without ever having to worry about it showing up next time I'm tracing. It's got a level of CONTROL that doesn't exist on other keyboards.
