Is anyone using stock messaging and stock keyboard?

I love Gboard and messenger especially now with the new web interface. I can even use a chrome app on a second personal phone to check work texts.
 
For years I've used GBoard, but the stock keyboard has improved a lot in the past year. I've gone back to using the stock keyboard. I use the stock messaging app and also MightyText so I can set text messages from my computer and tablet.
 
Not happy that you can no longer put a customized background on Samsung messaging. Otherwise, it’s okay.
