> Learning Chinese characters is difficult enough. If they don't simplify it people just won't use it

CJK unification doesn't make learning Chinese characters any easier, it only means that characters that look exactly the same will use the same code point. This is not related to simplifying characters. Also, I regularly see people hand-writing Chinese characters on tablets, so it does happen. And for those who use Pinyin to enter characters, it doesn't matter if the characters are simplified or traditional or unified or whatever, because they only have to pick the right one in their IME.
