Ah, I see. Sorry for any confusion.

"Hunt and peck" can be used to describe any sort of UI experience where the user must stare at the screen, find the desired button, then carefully tap in the right area (and repeat and repeat and repeat...)

Swype is certainly not "hunt and peck"!

I'm pretty sure that when used in an IT context, the term "hunt and peck" is based on the way that a free-range chicken eats food: scan floor for one small item of food, throw head down to floor to grab and eat it, hunt for next small piece of food, throw down head to eat it ad infininitum.

The chicken's technique does work, but it's slow and annoying and certainly not graceful! This is how current Sailfish vkb experience feels to me.
