I'm yet to find a third party keyboard that offers as good of a predictive and corrective text feature as the stock iOS keyboard.

You aren't the product if you use Google Apps for business. Consumer market products have different terms of use. They're funded by the such scription cost, like Business Offoce 365 plans.I miss Word Flow and have been disappointed over not seeing it’s features go to SwiftKey after the Microsoft purchase but SwiftKey is what I use most.
As a G Suite and Azure/365 administrator, except for Google maps I generally like Microsoft’s mobile apps more. Microsoft and Apple don’t make you the product as much as Google does. I’m happy to pay my Microsoft subscriptions because except for maps their software does more and their support is high quality.
This is why I've never used one on iOS. On Android I use whatever I feel like, and don't have that issue. Also, the say iOS would swap keyboards for certain fields was... wacky.I've tried 3rd party keyboards and use Swiftkey here and there for the swipe feature, but I switch back to the stock keyboard most times. I've never had a good experience with 3rd party keyboards. There always seems to be a lag and the stock keyboard is much more responsive. I wish there was a "flick" keyboard like BB10, I'd be willing to try that. BB did something right there, the keyboard on my old Z10 was flawless.

Microsoft still forces you to opt into data collection with Offjce 365, Windows 10, etc. and some people are still paranoid about that (that includes mobile and macOS versions of Office), so you aren't really gaining much over Google - if anything - when using the products as a consumer.
For business use, Google is fine, and so is Microsoft (Apple really isn't in that market, so *shrugs* ).
Microsoft's software is still better or me, because I like having real desktop clients, and Google doesn't have any (for me) viable desktop operating platform. Mobile OSes and software aren't at the point where they can replace Windows for me, or even close, yet...
I really hate having to work in web browser tabs, and browsers tend to be CPU and RAM hogs, anyways.
Lists are something that is being relegated to it's own interface these days. Microsoft has To-Do. Google has Keep. I'm pretty sure Apple Notes does lists.Yes, at times I find Google simple or not enough to a fault and at times Azure/365 complex or too much to a fault. On the whole I like Microsoft's far more capable platform and ability for me to work in about any style with any platform.
I think I said or said in other posts that mobile Excel itself solves some keyboard app design issues.
Activity Monitor on a Mac will often show me a tab with "Drive" just sitting there is taking a surprisingly large slice of physical memory.
Google's chat improvements are much appreciated but the platform is really lame if you compare it to the way Teams can let you work on a file and collaborate.
Apple with Google are disappointing when it comes to notes. I'm surprised how much time has passed without either having decent outlining or ordered lists. Simple text editors are valuable for programming and system config but ordered lists are extremely important for management and supervision work. As much as OneNote is a really big app, it with Swiftkey, the Teams client app, and SharePoint client app get a whole lot of use.
The current professional or paid grade Microsoft apps with Swiftkey all loaded in the XS Max phone is truly fantastic stuff. Google's apps are good to.
The app store is always showing me lots of other good productive apps but they all fail in my mind if they don't have Microsoft or Google as a back end because of the calendar and messaging they offer.
Drafts remains an important tool for me regardless. It alone syncs via iCloud. it does super capture from web in addition to its own text formatting. Very often my "drafts" from the app get sent to my professional use of G Suite or 365.
This is driving me nuts. I'll get used to it, but what a PITA right now.

OneNote has molasses sync times, and the app is heavy and takes forever the boot up (mobile and UWP versions). Note taking apps are so personal, though. Really boils down to preference or prescription.
I would never sync important data to iCloud. OneDtive and Google Drive have much better safeguards in their services.
Typing on the stock keyboard is my preference. The layout doesn’t really bother me, however, I do think it's a bit cluttered when using the Messages app.
Is anyone else getting irrtitated by Apple's iOS keyboard layouts? In iOS 11, it was the undo key placement on the numeric entry; I keep hitting it unintentionally. Now in iOS12, the placement of the emoji key is right where the numeric/symbol key should be located when in landscape mode.
This is supposedly fixed in iOS 12.0.1 released today (10/8/18). (I haven't received it on my iPad yet. I did a manual install to my iPhone, but I'm waiting to see how long it takes to do a "automatic update".)
