Bloody great, it's my preferred keyboard.

My Android has "Glide typing" built in which seems pretty much exactly the same

I did use swype a lot when it first came out, intuitive and genuinely quicker to use than a normal keyboard

SwiftKey has a swype-esque option as well, but for me offers more functionality than plain old GBoard.

I tried swiftkey when I had an Android phone. Really didn’t like it, rather than helping me type, it seemed to make it harder. It lasted about a month before it was removed. Didn’t try Swype, but after the experience with swiftkey, I wasn’t minded to try, I really couldn’t see the point.
