For us sad iOS people, what's your favorite swiping keyboard? I just use the stock Apple one because custom keyboards can still be a little buggy (eg not loading occasionally).

I still use Gboard. It's pretty old now and hasn't been updated in a long time, but it still works.
Every year, I try the stock iOS keyboard, but then I always go back.
I found GBoard crashed often but was very good and had the wonderful built-in calculator, not available on Android anymore. Still the case?
Boy did I hate when a "secure" input came up and I was forced to use the default keyboard.
For a long time apple keyboard did not support my language (czech), I would use gboard. And yes, it is still slightly better than the Apple one, but the switching is buggy and the problem is on the apple side.
They didn’t support Czech?! Until what year?
I am not quite sure, like 2-4 years ago.
Occasional bug is worse than permanent suffering?
Well, iOS swipe keyboard is not that bad. I would not call it “permanent suffering”. I tried gboard and swiftkey and they aren’t a giant improvement over the stock keyboard these days. They used to be.
Wrt the “occasional bug”, what happens is that sometimes (enough to make it bad) the keyboard doesn’t render at all!
What happens is you simply toggle the keyboard field off /on in th the same or a different app, a simple albeit slightly annoying fix.
But in general, there is no giant improvement, none of the major ones are even competent enough to figure out a grid of numbers is better than a row, but Apple is even worse - it doesn't even let you type a number on long hold, for some reason thinking that a letter ų you'll never type in your English life is a better alternative
To me, not being able to type in numbers easily is a permanent suffering, though ok, not the end of the world
And unfortunately don't think there is a single swipe keyboard that's properly customizable to fix those glaring issues...
