I did the swipe to complete an -ing suffix, and yes, I see the appeal!
Entering punctuation is a bit slow using long-presses on the apostrophe key. Maybe I can get used to using the symbol layer instead.
Oh! You can swipe from the 123 key to type a symbol from the symbol layer in one gesture! That's great! It even works for comma! Kinda accidentally - given the comma position I'm swiping over question mark, backspace, comma which gets a net result of typing just the comma. I wish it would go back immediately to the ABC layer.
Moving the cursor by holding and dragging from space feels better than the similar feature in gboard!
I miss the gboard backspace feature where you can hold and drag to selectively delete.
