Yeah I hate that. There's no way you can't communicate what you need over email or IM. And if you genuinely can't, well, you have serious communication issues.

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.
