In the past, a keyboard was a physical thing with keypresses that were just keypresses. You could pick out what physical keyboard you wanted based on some preference, but it was up to the OS to determine input events from the keyboard. It's a whole different ballgame now. Aside from the spacing/layout/etc. preferences from a soft keyboard, they function differently. Samsung's default keyboard is by far the worst thing to work with from a development standpoint. I've never had an issue working with any other soft keyboard, but the way Samsung handles certain input events is orthogonal to other major keyboards.
