Yeah, I've used swipe typing for a really long time myself, and was forced to switch to GBoard when Swype was discontinued, and I can't even begin to express how much better Swype was and I would switch back to it in a heartbeat if they came back and updated it. The accuracy was way better, going back to previous words showed you the same alternate options so you could just keep going and go back to correct when you were done... And probably best of all, it gave more than just the three alternates so it was way rarer that it didn't have the word you were looking for. Even just typing this, I'm having to stop after pretty much every word to make sure it's giving me the right thing, which slows me way down.
Typing on phone could be so much better. It was so much better.
