Gesture delete is kinda touchy in my experience. It's a brand new setting with this update, but if you swipe more slowly, you can actually select one word, or keep swiping to select many words. Tiny bit of a learning curve, but very handy once you get the finesse of it. I also like being able to swipe on the space bar to move the cursor (also new in this update), though that's very touchy as well.
It DOES have a dedicated number line, but it decides on its own when to show up. I'm pretty sure it has to do with how a particular text box is coded by its creator. While I don't always like having one, I have found it handy in the places where it's shown up.
In my humble opinion you can't beat Swipe keyboard. It's still my all time favorite, but I think I'm going to give Google keyboard a try. Your opinion usually aren't all that much off mark
I've been a Swyper since its beta days when you had to get a invite. The biggest plus for me and Swype has been its gesture accuracy, though it isn't what it used to be. The Google keyboard update reminds me of the old beta days when you could slide pretty darn sloppily and it'd figure out what you meant. One thing no other keyboard has gotten right though is misspelled words being suggested as the correct spelling. More times than not with Swype I don't need to go into my dictionary if I'm not sure of a spelling. Just swipe what I think it is and it usually comes up with the correct word as an alternate suggestion. None of them are perfect but Swype makes me look smarter than I am in emails, forum posts, etc , where context, punctuation, and spelling can be very important.In my humble opinion you can't beat Swipe keyboard.

That's what Swype beta did. At first it'd be horribly inaccurate but within a few days it was mind reading accurate, like this one is from swipe one. I'm still switching back and forth with each new, almost daily, Google keyboard update. I'm hoping it isn't line Swift Key Flow in that it starts accurate and gets less accurate with each slide. So far GKB is staying just as scary accurate except it hasn't started giving correct spellings as suggestions yet. Like with Swype I didn't know how to spell nefarious. I slid "naphairius" and it suggested "nefarious" on Swype whereas Google suggested "broadside" as a second choice. I really like the slide back from the delete to delete words. It seems slide from delete to the left erases 1 entire word per letter I slide over then drops what i just erased in the suggestion box. Protecting from myself I really appreciate. I like where the microphone icon is as well.
