Gboard autocorrect and behaviors today are as good, if not better, than they have always been for me.
I've tried other keyboards recently but nothing worked nearly as well for me.
As someone who types mixed english/german I would say they're not worse, but also in a low of ways not better. They're definitely not bad though, and in fact frequently win out over SwiftKey.
One big issue with german is that GBoard struggles hard with the concept that "mal" and "rum" are not always capitalized because they get used colloquially a lot. SwiftKey learns this after days, GBoard needs you actively delete the capitalized version from the suggestions a few times.
But, importantly, this has been getting better! It used to be a lot more insistent on "fixing" this, now after a few times it accepts it and even if you write the capitalized version it no longer fully changes back.
