I am too used to SwiftKey, I tried. I can't get used to it.
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.
