I think the biggest problem Swype had (once it published) was probably ignoring its user base. I was one of the early adopters when it showed up on the play market and I loved it. It was one of the bigger available apps at the time so I gravitated toward it. However, they messaged a bunch of things up and didn't give us ways to turn off their "new features" and a keyboard is not something you want to change often. So, since there were copycats, I moved to one of those that gave me the freedoms that I wanted and didn't have the annoying features that I didn't. I remember the forums at the time having a HUGE amount of people claiming to be doing the same thing. I use GBoard now and it has this horrible "correct the previous word" feature that I can't turn off. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, Google is big enough to keep it around forever without really listening to us. But this feature is awful. For an example, I'll type something like "a little bit of mambo" and, for some reason, it'll decide to replace "of" with "if" or something along those lines. It's not a consistent thing with any combination but I really don't want to have to erase two words to correct something that I had already dubbed correct before moving on.
