I used Swiftkey until recently, but the delay on bringing up the keyboard was annoying me too much. I couldn't justify changing phones just because of SwiftKey so instead I just went back to the default Google keyboard.
I'm still adapting weeks after changing, the most annoying issue is that the Japanese keyboard on Gboard has the key layout a bit different that the English one, so I cannot touch type on it like I did before.

- PufPufPuf 4y agoGoogle Keyboard is multilanguage too, if you mean having multiple languages active at the same time and the swiping/hints responding to both. I'm currently typing this comment using it.
- avereveard 4y agoUp to two languages, not quite enough
- LinAGKar 4y agoGboard does have multi-language now. In fact, I think it's better at that, simply because SwiftKey obsessively capitalizes the word i, even if you try to delete that suggestion. That's one of the main reasons I recently switched away from it, plus the fact that if you put the cursor in the middle of a word SwiftKey moves out to the end, and the fact that SwiftKey frequently hangs for several seconds in the work profile.
