I often "think" on paper. So, I use a pen and paper almost every day.
This isn't writing intended for consumption. I'm the only person who ever looks at my own notes, and even then I only ever look back a page or two. Because I'm thinking through a problem or design, older notes are usually less valuable -- either I've changed my mind on the topic (arrived at a better solution), or I've implemented the solution and moved on to something else.
My notes include a lot of lists, diagrams, symbols, follow-up thoughts in the margins, etc. I think writing the equivalent notes on computer wouldn't feel as natural.
I don't write very quickly. I only need to keep up with my thoughts, so that's not a problem (I'm not sure I didn't insult myself just now).
Anyway, my handwriting is probably fairly legible -- a side effect of not being in a hurry. I imagine it would look different if I were trying to get words on paper as quickly as possible. I print, but over the years some of the letters have developed there own style. I suppose that happens to most people's handwriting.
