So, it seems like "ship spinning" is the equivalent of wandering around World of Warcraft capital cities only by way of spamming jump? Thank you for the details.
In some ways 'ship spinning' in eve was the iphone equivalent of dragging a screen past its boundary and watching it snap back in place.
Dragging the camera (with a mouse down, move and release) would cause it to rotate around the player's ship until some artificial 'drag' decided the spin should slow to a stop. It was one of those innocent and functionally useless UI features, that is surprisingly satisfying to preform.

It's worse than that since you do it out of reflex and it is less engaging than what you're describing (though I never played WoW).

I can't believe how many hours of my life have been spent jumping around Ironforge aimlessly.
