I used to use gboard but it just too heavy for a keyboard app so i switched to Swiftkey, also imo Swiftkey have superior autocorrect and glidding typing.
@G0FuckThyself then there's (hidden) features such as word-for-word suggestions of texts you have last written, which is super useful when you lose a typed text in faulty entry fields or something like that. Saved me re-typing so many times.
Same for me. I am trying OpenBoard right now but the auto correct is no way near as good and when I go back to manually correct it removes the spaces before words itauto corrected leavingweird things for me to fix like "itauto". I'm so mad that Microsoft bought SwiftKey.
Are you using jerboa? The auto correct removing spaces isn't a general thing, it is specific to a library jerboa uses (compose), which has odd behaviour, causing openboard to malfunction.
I don't really have problem with MS buying it, it works nice for me and that's all i need. i never type my passwords so i don't have to worry about it.
MS haven't done anything to SwiftKey that I have a problem with (to my knowledge). However, the more consolidated my data is the less happy I am. If my data has to go somewhere, I'd prefer it if a bunch of servers owned by different companies have my data, as that makes it harder for companies and to get value out of it.
