Chinese script is arguably superior in many respects, and it provides a whole platform for "creating language" rather than just script.
Forgetting how to properly write by hand is not just a problem for those writing in complex script, although it's exacerbated by complexity. People relying too much on spelling correctors feel lost without them and make mistakes, people also go months or years without writing by hand and struggle when they have to.
There's a natural process of writing more with technological aids, which by the way favours Chinese script as it retains its strengths and loses its drawbacks (there are extremely fast Chinese input systems). It may well happen - seems to be happening - that moderately skilled handwriting becomes as rare as professional calligraphy is now.
