Holy crap do I feel left out. I've been using SwiftKey since before M$ purchased it and since then it has gotten better (except that stupid Bing hub AI BS). I think I've been using SwiftKey for like 9 years now.
Same here. I use it on all my devices and I am so used to it, that I can't use another keyboard. Also, for me autocorrect on SwiftKey is way better than on gboard.
Also same. Sometimes it decides typos are things that I want in my custom dictionary and will start replacing real words with gibberish, and then I have the same dilemma as OP, trying out a ton of different keyboards before eventually reverting to a clean install of SwiftKey.
Weird typo corrections and MS ownership aside, I really like how SwiftKey works and struggle to use anything else.
You can just long press on the gibberish and it won't suggest it again.
Talking about autocorrect weirdnesses, my keyboard (SwiftKey) seems to have a strange fascination with apostrophe s. Whenever I type a plural version of a word which is ending in s, it will autocorrect to apostrophe s!
