TLDR: Why do I stop using OpenBoard and use this instead :)?

Openboard hasn't updated in a year and a half

But how often do I need to update my keyboard lol?

If you're satisfied with it, you don't need to update. But Openboard lacks a lot of features many people want. The biggest of them is probably the glide typing, which Heliboard supports. And it also added a lot of quality of life improvements.

Some new features, bug fixes, and ongoing support.

~~It is a new application so you do have to set it up fresh - don't switch until you have a bit of spare time.~~ Missed the back and restore button in settings.

Personally I'm on one of the fork's beta versions. I'm waiting for the f-droid release so I get updates.
