(Native Thai speaking.)
The worst thing about "not using space" when it comes to computer is that it's nearly impossible to do word-breaking/line-breaking without relying on dictionary[1] which is very hard to convince software developers not using system text engine to add support for line breaking[2].
The suffer still continues to this date, Android, for instance, still lack a proper support (break by character instead of word) and few apps lack of Thai word-breaking support at all (Twitter, whose only do word break by space).
