Texting (or using a handheld phone for whatever reason) while stationary at a red light isn't dangerous in the slightest if you're paying attention to when it's changing and are prepared to put it down immediately before setting off again.
If you need to get a quick message to someone I reckon it's safer than a completely legal hands-free call.
I very rarely drive but have some sympathy.
