3D Touch was amazing for typing alone, I miss it basically every day when I type more than a couple of words on my phone. It was so great to be able to firm-press and slide to move the insertion point, or firmer press to select a word or create a selection. It was like a stripped down mobile version of the kind of write-and-edit flow of jumping around between words that I can get on a proper keyboard with Emacs keybindings drilled into my brain.
