I don't like Dasher because it introduces uncontrolled "waiting states",
in order for the target letter to reach the center.
I get the same feeling when i'm told that in order to disable the QTopia
keyboard's auto-complete, i need to wait 2secs on the same letter...
On Dasher's site they make a comparison with car-driving.
I think that if we were given the chance,
we would preffere a click-to-destination instead of a steering-wheel car-UI.
Yet, a GPL software always deserves respect,
