Writing the same content as an email takes me like 10x the time. Especially if it's something complicated and people might have follow-up questions so it takes up room in the back of your mind. Much easier to just get out of the way in a 5 minute conversation.

Anything to do with emotions or interpersonal relations is also very prone to misinterpretation when put as text.

Agreed on the complex emotional stuff. I moreso meant work when referring to communications.
