Why Fitaly is painful to use: punctuation design seems to me like an afterthought. Must switch to a different mode to access punctuation, and there are several modes in which to look. Sigh.

Why MessagEase is painful to use: no visual feedback. Either you keep your eyes on the keyboard and discover mistakes later when you look up, or you keep your eyes on the text, blindly tapping and making lots of mistakes. Grrr.

I'm frustrated because I need convenience! Arrggh!

I wish that Fitaly would put *all* common punctuation on the main screen, like MessagEase does; or that MessagEase would provide visual feedback, like Fitaly does. Dang - Fitaly's got all these big keys that I hardly ever use taking up precious room on the main screen! - room that could be used for punctuation keys.

Not sure which is the lesser of the two evils...
