I haven't used the Samsung keyboard in years so I don't know what the comparison would be. I do think that for the most part, FOSS keyboards lag a couple years behind Google, Microsoft, etc. This is one that looks promising, but is still a long way off from a “complete” app.

I guess it depends on how much you care about privacy. There are a number of private keyboards now to choose from, but if you trust Samsung (Google, MS, etc.) with your keyboard data then it may make it worth the upgrade in features

No, I really don't trust Samsung or Google or any other company with my data, but I can't ignore such a great future like this. It's that good.
