I personaly don't think double tap is good for running. Minecraft uses double tap for sprint but many times you double tap might be to slow, so you instead of sepding up end up being slower (you don't move during the time between taps). Also sometimes you might start running when you don't want to.
Double tap can be especialy problematic for those with low end computers on wich the game can't run with full speed. On these computers it is posible for double tap to be recognized as constant press.
