What's wrong with entering the whole e-mail address? This is what people are used to do when logging into a webmail system.
There is nothing wrong with it, just as there is nothing wrong with writing letters by hand with pen and paper. However, most people, where possible, prefer to use the most rapid means possible to achieve a task (certain night-time activities excepted).
In this case, the domain in question is, unfortunately and due to the choice of the powers that be, much longer than convenient which means that users are entering 20+ characters when logging in. They would prefer their 6-8 character username, and there's no great reason that they should not have that option.
Once a plugin architecture is available, I'd be more than happy to add it that way if necessary.
