Basically, what the title says. Do you use any app, that is proprietary, but either has no OSS alternatives or they're all not good enough? If there is an alternative, what keeps you from switching?

This. Loved it but stopped using it when it was bought by Microsoft (it was swiftkey that Microsoft bought, right - I'm getting old and it's late here)

Ironically I'm using gboard now, kinda given up looking for keyboard a while back.

I have to fuck about on F-Droid again for a bit I think.
