I guess I'm in the middle. I don't mind texting itself really, if I'm talking to someone about something funny/interesting I can get into a pretty fast and text heavy conversation. So on that end, I don't mind a lot of texting. But if someone is just messaging me a lot about lots of inane/stupid things then that gets annoying.
I prefer text over talk with most people. Not because I don't have an attention span but because of two things:
1 I have anxiety so "real" conversations with people I don't know all that well (and even sometimes with people I do) drains me quickly because I'm on edge for the duration of the call.
2 I prefer to write and read over verbally communicate. I preferred long essays in school as opposed to oral reports for this reason. I can plan what I want to say more carefully through a text, a "heat of the moment" never really happens to me through a text or email. I very rarely find myself saying "oh gee I wish I hadn't of sent/wrote that" but do find myself saying "I wish I hadn't of said that" twice as often.
