A bit, though what I prefer is that in addition to the most likely suggestion you get a long row of alternatives, and often you can save 3 to 4 keypresses by selecting a word further down the line. Not always, but often enough. I just like having the option.

But I agree with your statement. That's partly what makes it easier for me when I type something out on my wife's iPhone [landscape] keyboard, that there's at least some familiarity.
