I voted 6 because I literally type it every day. I even created a variation of my keyboard layout that has the basic IPA symbols for Spanish. This way I can type the IPA really fast and don't need to constantly visit typeit.org or easypronunciation.com. Maybe later I'll finish adding all the IPA symbols and release it.
Of course I don't know all the symbols, only those relevant to Spanish and some very basic Spanish dialectal variations.
Fun fact: The RAE transcribes both Spanish semiconsonants and semivowels as i̯ and u̯, without making any distinction for whether they're semiconsonants or semivowels. However, online it's much more common to transcribe both as j and w (Maybe because browsers don't always render diacritics properly?). Buuuuut a couple of resources for Spanish learners make a distinction: They transcribe semiconsonants as j and w, but semivowels as i̯ and u̯. Which is quite helpful, because in less-than-perfect speech both j and w have a tendency to become ʝ and either β̞ or ɣ̞.
