Finger-on-nose! It seems to be a question of utility and efficiency rather than primarily an emotional response to effectiveness of a given UI.

I type emails because it's faster. I handwrite class notes because I often use freeform groupings and diagrams that would make using a word processor painful.

On the other hand, learning to type took some effort and I see many people who do not know how to properly type. The case for handwriting might have looked better if you assumed people would not all want to become typists.
