Comment (by krogsgard):

 In my experience, I treat word count as a thing I glance at while not
 actually writing, but during the writing experience. If it's updating with
 every keystroke it could be a distraction. But some interval updates would
 be great. Also, +1 to @azaozz's note on speed implications.

 I have no problem with it updating on enter only. I do, however, hope it
 doesn't get moved to a click event. It's a valuable feature that I really
 enjoy directly in the edit window.
