I LOVED it. I could move the text cursor with precision AND do text selection with the same precision and FAST. In some situations faster and with more precision than I would have been able to do with a mouse even.

Such a great loss that they dumped it.

cursor move is still available with a long press of the spacebar, but I dearly miss the selection. that was the killer application of 3d touch I think.
