Only one I've found bearable in a post-Swype world is heliboard.
Two caveats. First, that you have to do extra work to enable glide typing. It isn't difficult, but it's not something you would automatically think to do.
Second, that it's suggestions are kinda crap lol. It's good at picking up the glide input, but the suggestions it pulls up when it doesn't are sometimes batshit lol.
Coming from Swype, it's not exactly great. But it's on par with gboard in most ways
i second that ~~emitting~~ ~~emitting~~ emotion....!
I'm using Heliboard too but yhe correction is really bad. Very frustrating. Have to go back and correct yhe same words all the time. As yiu can see here, it still has not learned that yhe should be the. And yiu also.
Just goes to show how bad my manual typing is!
I'm.tolerating it but its immensely annoying.
