Presumably the android keyboard market is quite a mature one to enter. People are either stuck in their ways and use the same keyboard they always have or just use the stock samsung / google one that comes with the phone. Plus, having to tediously type a reply to someone when learning the new layout seems like a quick way for someone to uninstall the app...

I do like the swipe to edit / delete feature though.

That's certainly true. However, just because it's difficult doesn't mean we shouldn't try. Especially because current solutions have not solved the problem of tedious typing on phones, and many are violating user privacy (adding to the first problem). As written, we will make the user experience in a way that you can freely choose whether to stick to the traditional layout or advance to the hexagon one, so not forcing the user to re-learn if he doesn't want to.
